An organization linked to North Korea’s ruling party said members of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), including China and Russia, should “pay dearly” for passing a fresh resolution, in a statement carried by the state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) on Tuesday.

The 15 council members on Saturday unanimously voted to impose a new resolution on North Korea which is estimated to cut the country’s export revenues by USD$1 billion.

KCNA said U.S. President Donald Trump had “extended thanks to China and Russia for cooperation in adopting the resolution,” quoting a spokesperson for the Korea Asia-Pacific Peace
