South Korea, Japan, U.S. Discuss Measures to Cope With North Korea's Threats

South Korea, Japan and the United States had a senior-level video teleconference on Friday to discuss measures to better cope with increasing threats from North Korea. 
The three defense officials who attended the teleconference were Park Cheol-kyun, deputy director general for the MND's International Policy Bureau; Christopher Johnstone, principal director for East Asia at the U.S. Department of Defense; and Koji Kano, principal director of defense policy bureau at the Japan Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of National Defense (MND) said in a statement. 
"They found common ground with each other when it comes to North Korea's recent missile firings. They said the North's missile launches are a clear violation of the U.N. Security Council (UNSC) resolutions. And its nuclear and missile ambitions are a serious threat to peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula, as well as in the Asia-Pacific region," Yonhap News Agency quoted a ministry spokesman as saying. 
The three countries agreed to beef up their cooperation to effectively counter evolving military threats from the North and continue to share information on its missile threats, he said.
