The United States has formally requested that the U.N. Security Council hold a vote Monday on a draft resolution imposing fresh sanctions on North Korea in response to the communist nation's sixth nuclear test, a news report said Saturday.

The U.S. mission to the United Nations released a statement saying that it intends to call a Security Council meeting to vote on Sept. 11 on the draft resolution imposing additional sanctions on the North, according to an AFP report.

Earlier this week, the U.S. circulated the draft resolution, which calls among other things for imposing an oil embargo on the North, freezing assets of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and banning textile exports from the North.

AFP quoted unidentified diplomatic sources saying that China and Russia, which have friendlier ties with Pyongyang than any other nations do, oppose the measures as a whole, except for the ban of textiles, during a meeting of experts Friday. (Yonhap)
