In the trilateral summit on Sunday, Seoul, Washington, and Tokyo reaffirmed their joint commitment in the face of Pyongyang’s missile threats, but no new measure to renew the stalled dialogue were announced.
After a meeting with his U.S. counterpart, South Korea’s foreign minister emphasized strengthening the joint extended deterrence against North Korea’s missile threats.
Continued missile testing by North Korea will not compel Seoul, Tokyo, or Washington to seek the negotiations Pyongyang could use to address its needs.
