South Korean, U.S. and Japanese foreign ministers hold trilateral talks and reaffirm their “resolute commitment” to complete denuclearization of North Korea, according to a U.S. State Department readout.
The ministers—South Korea’s Cho Hyun, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Japan’s Toshimitsu Motegi—also stress full implementation of U.N. Security Council resolutions. They highlight the need to enforce U.N. sanctions designed to prevent activities that generate revenue for Pyongyang’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs, and they commend the Multilateral Sanctions Monitoring Team for exposing sanctions violations and evasion.
Across the sources provided, the emphasis stays on coordination among the three countries and on sanctions enforcement as a key mechanism for denuclearization. Yonhap runs multiple versions with the same core message, while the Korea Times adds additional contextual emphasis, including peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait and Rubio raising concerns about China, based on the State Department readout.
