Test Sunday: Minister Abe and Korea

test sunday: Mongolia has diplomatic ties with North Korea, while Japan does not. ; Abe told Battulga that North Korea's nuclear test Sunday, which followed the launch last week of a ballistic missile that flew over northern Japan, poses an unprecedentedly grave and imminent threat and is totally unacceptable, according to the Foreign Ministry, according to The Japan Times. Prime Minister Abe underlined the need to strengthen pressure on North Korea, the ministry said. The meeting, held on the sidelines of an economic forum in the Russian port city of Vladivostok, is the leaders' first since Battulga was elected president in July. The leaders reaffirmed the importance of strictly and fully implementing U.N. Security Council resolutions, it said. They also agreed to seek early resolution of the issue of past abductions of Japanese nationals by North Korean agents. The resolutions impose sanctions on North Korea and ban the reclusive state from conducting nuclear tests and launching ballistic missiles. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
