The North has given notice of its plans to launch a rocket by June 4 to deploy a satellite, prompting the three countries to urge a halt to the move that would aid Pyongyang’s ability to deliver a nuclear strike, Reuters reported.<\/p>\n

At their first three-way summit in Seoul since 2019, the three countries sought to cooperate on security, reiterating positions on regional peace and stability and denuclearization of the peninsula, they said in a joint statement.<\/p>\n

Such discussion is an “insult never to be pardoned and a declaration of war against the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK),” however, a spokesman for North Korea’s foreign ministry said in a swift riposte.<\/p>\n

“To discuss the denuclearization … today constitutes a grave political provocation and sovereignty violation,” the unidentified spokesman said in the statement reported by the North’s state media.<\/p>\n

Such a move denies the North’s inviolable sovereignty and constitution reflecting the unanimous will of all the Korean people, he added.<\/p>\n

Chinese Premier Li Qiang called on all parties to reduce tension.<\/p>\n

While South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida urged Pyongyang to scrap its plans to launch a second spy satellite into orbit, Li made no mention of the expected launch.<\/p>\n

China angered North Korea when it signed on to UN Security Council resolutions sanctioning Pyongyang’s nuclear weapons and missile program from 2006 to 2017.<\/p>\n

North Korea launched its first military\u00a0satellite into orbit in November, after two earlier attempts failed in 2023.<\/p>\n
