President Moon Jae-in and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe held a telephone conversation for 20 minutes from 11:00 this morning to discuss how to respond to North Korea’s sixth nuclear test. Their conversation today came within just five days after their last telephone call on August 30, and it was their sixth since the new Administration was launched in Korea.
The two leaders shared a common understanding that the North’s nuclear test was carried out in defiance of repeated international warnings, including from Korea and Japan, and in violation of United Nations Security Council resolutions. They agreed it also posed a serious challenge to the peace and safety of the international community. In addition, they shared the recognition that the test was a grave provocation that was entirely different and unprecedented in scale and nature, expressing strong condemnation of North Korea.
President Moon said that it was very worrisome because the North this time detonated a bomb that was several times stronger than before and because the North claimed that it had tested a hydrogen bomb to be mounted on an intercontinental ballistic missile. The President continued to emphasize that it was necessary to come up with unprecedentedly strong and practical countermeasures that could be keenly felt by the North in cooperation with the international community.
The two leaders shared a common understanding that maximum pressure and sanctions had to be imposed on the North while maintaining close coordination between Korea and Japan as well as among Korea, the United States and Japan. Above all, they agreed to seek a stronger U.N. Security Council sanctions resolution as part of such efforts. The President stressed that pressure and sanctions should be further strengthened until the North returned to the negotiating table on its own accord.
