The Philippines and Japan yesterday condemned the missile tests by North Korea and called for the resumption of talks to defuse the tension in the Korean Peninsula.
President Rodrigo Duterte said North Korea's test pose a threat to regional stability and should be resolved peacefully.
“We need to address many issues confronting the region and threats to the stability and security (in the) Asia-Pacific. Foremost among our shared concern are developments in the Korean peninsula and the continuing missile launch tests of North Korea,” Duterte said after his meeting with Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe here.
“We condemn these tests and call on all concerned stakeholders to return to the negotiating table to peacefully resolve the situation,” he added.
