TOKYO (Sputnik) — Earlier in the day, Blinken, Lim and Saiki met in Seoul to discuss the ongoing situation on the Korean Peninsula.
According to the KBS World Radio, the high-ranking diplomats issued a strong condemnation of North Korea's nuclear and missile activities.
The broadcaster added that Lim said that the international community should not tolerate Pyongyang's provocations and North Korea could face punishment and isolation from the international community.
Tensions on the Korean Peninsula escalated after North Korea successfully carried out a hydrogen bomb test in early January and put a satellite into orbit a month later, violating UN Security Council resolutions and triggering condemnation from the international community.
