In a joint statement, the three governments said they “explored ways to work together” to ensure countries fully implement existing United Nations sanctions on the DPRK. They also discussed work in the Security Council to tighten the sanctions and the possibility of taking measures of their own to restrict revenue sources for the North’s missile and nuclear programs.
“They reaffirmed that they remain open to legitimate and credible conversations targeted at total and verifiable denuclearisation of the DPRK”, the statement said, referring to the state’s formal name, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
In other words, China is saying that it will not accept any actions it can not put under its control and it will continue to play the North Korea card.
Lastly, the Ministers noted the positive role that the three countries can play to promote regional peace and stability and address global challenges.
It also reaffirmed the commitment of the United States to protect and defend its allies in the region, which includes the deployment of a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system to South Korea and “extended deterrence” assured by the full spectrum of US defense capabilities.

In report, think tank urges next US administration to adopt a firmer and more aggressive “carrot and stick” policy The US Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) has declared the failure of “strategic patience”, as the North Korean policy of the Obama administration is called, and called on the next administration to adopt a firmer and more aggressive “carrot and stick” policy.
They also agreed to “actively” seek comprehensive and strong sanctions against the North through close coordination and cooperation with the global community including the United States, China and Russian Federation, it added. That resolution mostly aimed at cutting off inflow of money that can be used in the communist country’s nuclear development programs. China also expressed anger over its latest nuclear test, but has not made it clear whether it would support more sanctions on the country.
Yun called for the current U.N. General Assembly to “send out a united and forceful message”, and impose even more robust sanctions on North Korea as it is “now at the final stage of nuclear weaponization”.
