In a bid to comply with the United Nations Security Council resolution that China participated in drafting in November last year, the country has now decided to ban all coal imports from North Korea, according to the Malaysia Sun. China’s decision also comes in light of the recent missile test conducted by North Korea. The country announced the decision in a public notice that was issued by China’s Ministry of Commerce, along with the country’s customs agency.
