The leaders of China, Japan and South Korea expressed concern over North Korea’s nuclear test and called for “effective steps” to break a stand off in talks to de-nuclearise the Korean peninsula, a joint statement said today.
The leaders, meeting in a three-way summit in the central Philippine city of Cebu, also restated the need to fully carry out UN sanctions against Pyongyang, as well as their “commitment of the peaceful resolution of the nuclear issue on the Korean peninsula through dialogue and negotiation,” the statement said.
