Senior diplomats from Japan, United States and South Korea urge North Korea to return to arms talks

Firstpost  

On Monday, the state-run Korean Central News Agency reported that the tests of the new missiles showed they can hit targets 1,500 kilometers away. Tokyo: Senior diplomats from Japan, the United States and South Korea urged North Korea on Tuesday to return to talks over its missile and nuclear development, a day after it announced it successfully tested new long-range cruise missiles, indicating an advancement of its military capabilities. On Monday, International Atomic Energy Agency chief Rafael Grossi told member nations that North Korea’s nuclear activities “continue to be a cause for serious concern.” Its continuation of its nuclear program is “a clear violation of relevant UN Security Council resolutions and is deeply regrettable,” he said. Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi was to arrive in Seoul on Tuesday for talks with South Korean officials on bilateral relations and the freeze in nuclear diplomacy with North Korea. Japanese foreign minister Toshimitsu Motegi said before the trilateral meeting that it was a “good occasion to reconfirm close cooperation among the three countries and discuss the latest North Korean situation.” Japanese officials and some experts said North Korea’s weekend missile tests were a “new threat” to the region.
