S. Korea, China supports U.N. sanctions expected to be authorized Saturday

I'll believe it when I see it.

SEOUL, Oct. 13 (Yonhap) - The U.N. Security Council (UNSC) is expected this weekend to adopt a new U.S. draft resolution slapping non-military global sanctions on North Korea, as South Korea and China agreed Friday to back the moves to punish the North over its announced nuclear bomb test.

In a summit in Beijing, South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun and his Chinese counterpart Hu Jintao agreed to support the UNSC in taking "necessary and appropriate sanctions" on the North.
