THREATS FROM NORTH KOREA: North Korea action undermines US-JP-SoKor alliance

According to Admiral Harry Harris, the continued missile launches by North Korea emphasise the importance of the alliance between the United States, Japan, and South Korea, as well as the trilateral cooperation of Washington, Tokyo, and Seoul.

“The actions of North Korea are unacceptable,” Harris said at the outset of a meeting with Japanese foreign minister Fumio Kishida. “It underscores not only the importance of the U.S.-Japan alliance, but also U.S.-Japan-South Korea trilateral cooperation.”
