Finance minister issues order in response to North Korean money-laundering fears

China reported a substantial decrease in trade with North Korea on Friday, highlighting the impact of sanctions on the rogue state.

"I have not heard what you said", Chinese Foreign Ministry's spokesperson Lu Kang told a reporter while replying to a question in this regard during his regular press briefing.

China has opposed the Vancouver conference and said it would hurt, not help, steps to get North Korea to stop its nuclear program. Meanwhile, U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis will participate in a welcome dinner Monday.

Japan has also reportedly criticized the meeting.

Alexander Vorontsov, a Russian academic and North Korea expert, said Pyongyang is convinced Washington is preparing to attack the hermit state.

Mr. Tillerson is slated to co-host with Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland.

North Korean officials say there is a "misperception" that the country is acquiring advanced missile capability in order to strike the United States.

Donald Trump 'scraps plans to open United Kingdom embassy'
In Washington, White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Trump's comment was exclusively about an embassy-related visit. Relations between the USA and its closest ally have been tested repeatedly since Trump took office nearly a year ago.

The measures could include stopping and inspecting ships bound for North Korea.

Analysts have warned that the North Korean government uses money laundering and other illicit financial activity to develop its nuclear-weapons program, a concern echoed by the Paris-based task force.

He said that China has always supported global anti-terrorism cooperation on the basis of mutual respect.

With tougher sanctions now in place, the State Department is looking for ways to make sure North Korea is not circumventing punishing limits on imports and 90 percent of its publicly reported exports.

Starting with Kim Jong Un's New Year's address, the regime has made a pivot away from belligerent provocations towards diplomacy, calling for a bilateral solution to the current crisis by working with South Korea.

North Korea agreed to send athletes as part of a delegation to the Games.

"Is it going to be middle-power multilateralism, where we bring countries together, the like-minded and not like-minded, to fashion some solutions that will be supportive of what the big guys are going to be doing?"
