US, Japan, South Korea condemn nuke test by North Korea

The statement emphasized that defectors’ organizations in South Korea will move to form a worldwide organization with North Korean defectors living in countries in Europe, the United States and Japan to strike a fatal blow to Kim Jong-un’s regime.

They also discussed how to ensure all countries “fully and effectively implement” Resolution 2270, as the North is engaging in an “accelerated, systematic and unprecedented campaign to develop an operational nuclear capability”.

On the surface, China seems to be fulfilling its obligations as a member of the worldwide community and a key player in dealing with North Korea’s latest nuclear and missile provocations.

Foreign ministers from the U.S., South Korea, and Japan met in New York Sunday before the United Nations meetings to discuss the North Korean nuclear threat destabilizing the Korean peninsula and threatening security in the region.

Yun and Kishida held separate bilateral talks later Sunday, and further concentrated on discussions for bilateral collaboration on strong measures against North Korea for its fifth nuclear test, according to the Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday. It’s said it considers sanctions called for a return to talks and aren’t the greatest solution.

The North’s latest nuclear test comes eight months after its fourth nuclear device detonation in January which led the UNSC to adopt a resolution regarded as the toughest ever in March.

“Kim Jong-un and the North Korean regime can not get away with all their misbehavior and provocations”, he warned.

The three ministers agreed that North Korea’s provocations pose threats to regional and global security that are on a different level from its past acts, according to sources familiar with their talks.

In a public letter, the coalition claimed that North Korea’s Kim Jong-un regime has detonated nuclear weapons in the face of objections raised by the worldwide community, and claimed the North Korean leader has become the common enemy of humanity.

“We agreed to closely coordinate for the swift adoption of a new Security Council resolution with further sanction measures, as well as for each country [to implement] measures of their own, so as to deal with a series of provocative acts by North Korea”, which has raised the threat-level in regional security, Kishida said.

“What we see is a looming flawless storm that may not only pounce on Northeast Asia but sweep over the entire world”, Yun said at the start of the talks, calling the North’s nuclear and missile programs a “time bomb” and a threat to the world.
