S. Korea, U.S., Japan pledge joint action against N. Korea
SINGAPORE, May 30 (Yonhap) -- The defense ministers of South Korea, the United
States and Japan pledged Saturday to press North Korea until the communist state
understands it will not be rewarded for its provocation.
The meeting between the defense heads of the three countries took place on the
sidelines of a security forum in Singapore, less than a week after Pyongyang
conducted its second atomic test.
It also coincided with apparent preparations by North Korea to test-launch a
long-range ballistic missile on its east coast.
