South Korea, Japan and the United States will coordinate sanctions and close gaps in the international sanctions regime against North Korea, Seoul's envoy for North Korea said on Tuesday.
Kim Gunn, South Korea's Special Representative for Korean Peninsula Peace and Security Affairs, said at a meeting with his U.S. and Japanese counterparts that North Korea was "becoming more aggressive and blatant in its nuclear threat".
The sanctions follow a Nov. 18 ICBM test by North Korea, part of a spate of more than 60 missile launches this year, and amid concerns that it may be about to resume nuclear weapons testing, which has been suspended since 2017. U.S. Special Representative for North Korea Sung Kim said on Tuesday at the meeting in Jakarta that the behaviour of Pyongyang presented one of the most serious security challenges to the region and beyond.
He said the trio would examine all options including counter strike capabilities and be more vigilant against North Korea's cyber threat.
