South Korea, the United States and Japan have issued a strong warning to North Korea in relation to a possible missile launch or nuclear test.
 
Vice Foreign Minister Lim Sung-nam, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Tony Blinken and Japanese Vice Foreign Minister Akitaka Saiki issued the warning on Tuesday during a joint news conference following their trilateral talks in Seoul.
 
Lim said that the international community will not tolerate additional provocations from the North. He added that Pyongyang will risk stronger punishment and deeper isolation should it conduct another provocation despite repeated warnings by the international community.
