British Prime Minister Theresa May says the UK will work with China to stop what she called a "reckless" North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un from launching a nuclear war.
Speaking alongside the Chinese premier Li Keqiang in Beijing on Wednesday, May added that they agreed to implement stronger sanctions on Pyongyang in a bid to curb its nuclear program.
We agree that its pursuit of nuclear and ballistic missile programs is illegal, reckless, and poses an unacceptable threat to international peace and security. And we have agreed the full and effective implementation of UN Security Council sanctions is vital to persuade the North Korean regime to change course and abandon its illegal activity."
The sentiment was echoed by Li, who reaffirmed that China, a key North Korean ally, is committed to upholding global peace.
