China Calls for Halt to US THAAD Deployment in South Korea
TEHRAN (defapress) - China on Saturday called for a halt to the deployment of the THAAD US anti-missile defense system in South Korea and for relevant equipment to be dismantled, China's UN Ambassador Liu Jieyi told the UN Security Council.
"The deployment of the THAAD system will not bring a
solution to the issue of (North Korea's) nuclear testing and missile
launches," Liu told the council after it imposed new sanctions on North
Korea over two long-range missile launches, Reuters reported.
He also urged North Korea to "cease taking actions that might further escalate tensions."
