Top nuclear envoys of South Korea, the United States and Japan vowed on Tuesday to closely cooperate in carrying out the latest sanctions imposed on North Korea following its September nuclear test. In their trilateral talks in Seoul, they also pledged to try to verify whether the punitive measures are faithfully implemented as part of efforts to curb Pyongyang’s nuclear and missile development. The meeting was attended by Kim Hong-kyun, special representative for Korean Peninsula peace and security affairs at the Foreign Ministry, and his U.S. and Japanese counterparts, Joseph Yun and Kenji Kanasugi, respectively.
