MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Envoys from South Korea, the United States and Japan will hold a joint briefing on June 30 on UN response to the North Korean missile tests conducted earlier this year, a South Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman said.
"[The briefing is] intended to raise the awareness of UN member states of the UN sanctions resolutions… and also to discuss effective ways to further strengthen [these] sanctions," the ministry's spokesman, Cho June-hyuck, was quoted as saying by the Kyodo news agency.
The consultations starting at 11 a.m. local time (15:00 GMT) will last for three hours, Cho added.
On June 22, North Korea claimed it had successfully tested a missile that traveled about 250 miles before dropping into the Sea of Japan. US and South Korean officials said two missiles were fired and that one missile failed.
