    U.N. Security Council to meet Tuesday on N.Korea nuclear test

    NORTH-KOREA-UNSC:U.N. Security Council to meet Tuesday on N.Korea nuclear test

    February 12, 2013 / 10:56 IST

    UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The U.N. Security Council will hold an emergency meeting on North Korea's apparent nuclear test at 9:00 a.m. EST (1400 GMT) on Tuesday, council diplomats said.

    Diplomats had said previously that the United States, South Korea and European members would want the Security Council to adopt a resolution that would impose new sanctions on Pyongyang in the event of a third nuclear test in defiance of earlier council resolutions.

    Getting approval on a council resolution, however, could take weeks. (Reporting By Louis Charbonneau; editing by Christopher Wilson)
