Japan, the United States and South Korea have agreed to put more pressure on the DPRK.

Japanese Vice Foreign Minister Shinsuke Sugiyama said the three countries have reaffirmed the necessity to impose more pressure on the DPRK to force Pyongyang to give up the development of nuclear weapons and missiles.

Sugiyama said this after a meeting in Tokyo with U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Antony Blinken and South Korean Deputy Foreign Minister Lim Sung-nam.
