The US special envoy to North Korea said Washington and South Korea have agreed

Seoul. The US special envoy to North Korea said Washington and South Korea have agreed to give a strong response to Pyongyang’s recent missile test, although the road to talks is still open. Sung Kim is on a visit to South Korea two days after North Korea tested a new type of missile. Experts believe that North Korea wants to increase its arsenal and seeks to ease sanctions on behalf of its adversaries.

North Korea conducted its 13th weapon test this year in the form of a missile. This included missiles capable of carrying nuclear weapons reaching the US mainland and South Korea and Japan. There is speculation that North Korea may soon try to increase pressure by conducting nuclear tests. “We agree to give a strong response to North Korea’s destabilizing behavior,” Kim said after meeting with his South Korean counterpart. We also agreed to maintain a strong joint deterrence in the peninsula.’ South Korean diplomat Noh Kyu-duk said that he and Kim expressed concern that North Korea could take action to increase tension. Noh urged North Korea to get back on the dialogue path.

In March, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un released a promo video of the new missile. Through this video, North Korea has put forward footage of its most modern and long-range missile test in the whole world. North Korea has confirmed the test of its largest inter-continental ballistic missile (ICBM) on the orders of its leader Kim Jong-un. It is believed that North Korea is expanding its nuclear capability in preparation for a “long-standing conflict” with the US. North Korea’s official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported that Hwaseong-17 (ICBM) reached a maximum altitude of 6,248 kilometers (3,880 mi) and struck 1,090 km in 67 minutes before falling into the sea between North Korea and Japan. Kilometers (680 miles) traveled.
