U.S. offers ‘full support’ to Singapore on N.Korea sanctions

Plans include a new cargo monitoring system to help detection of prohibited goods

Washington said it would offer full support to Singapore in enforcing Resolution 2270 against North Korea, in a White House statement published on Tuesday.

The declaration was part of a larger press release issued on a visit by Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong to Washington to commemorate fifty years of diplomatic relations.

U.S. support on implementing the newest UN resolution will “expand bilateral cooperation to ensure the enforcement of this resolution, including on cargo inspections, shipping, and finance,” the press release reads.

Part of the cooperation will focus on equipping Singapore with better methods of assessing incoming shipping cargoes,
