The announcement was made at the 13th Defense Trilateral Talks held on Friday in Washington D.C. to exchange assessments of the security environment on the Korean Peninsula and broader region, as well as to consult on concrete ways to deepen trilateral security cooperation, the joint statement said.
It follows North Korea’s announcement on Friday that it had tested a new solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile , a development set to “radically promote” its forces, which experts said would facilitate missile launches with little warning.
