Moon, Abe agree 'extreme' pressure on North Korea
By Kim Rahn
President Moon Jae-in and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe have agreed that the international community needs to increase pressure on North Korea to an "extreme" level, following Tuesday's ballistic missile test by Pyongyang, Cheong Wa Dae said Wednesday.
During a 25-minute phone conversation, the two leaders also agreed to seek stronger sanctions against Pyongyang at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).
It was their fifth phone call since Moon's May 10 inauguration, and came only five days after the previous one. Wednesday's phone call was made at Abe's request.
"Moon and Abe agreed that the pressure on North Korea should increase to an extreme level so that the North will come forward for dialogue," presidential spokesman Park Soo-hyun said.
Their conversation indicated the two countries and the international community will focus on new and stronger pressure and sanctions against Pyongyang for now, rather than seeking dialogue, as the latest test was grave enough to heighten tension on the Korean Peninsula and in Northeast Asia.
North Korea confirmed Wednesday that it launched a Hwasong-12 intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) that flew over Japan.
The range of the missile, about 2,700 kilometers, also showed Pyongyang could strike the U.S. territory of Guam, about 3,000 kilometers away, as it had earlier threatened.
The North's Korea Central News Agency (KCNA) said that leader Kim Jong-un supervised the launch and ordered his military to prepare more launches of missiles targeting the Pacific Ocean.

"Moon said the IRBM launch over Japan was violence against a neighboring country," Park said.
The KCNA said the launch of the missile was to counter the Ulchi Freedom Guardian joint military exercise between the United States and South Korea.
Moon also told Abe that Seoul held a National Security Council meeting immediately after the missile launch and he ordered a show of force with four F-15k fighter jets carrying out live bombing drills.
The two leaders renewed the importance of cooperation among South Korea, Japan and the U.S. in addressing the North Korea issue.
"They evaluated that close cooperation among the three nations led to the UNSC's swift call for a meeting and adoption of a statement on the first day of the meeting. They agreed to push for a new UNSC resolution imposing more detailed and effective sanctions against North Korea, and to make efforts to get cooperation from China and Russia on the issue," Park said.
Moon also expressed sympathy and comfort for the fear and threat Japanese people may have felt following the missile test, according to Park.
"The two leaders pledged to contact each other immediately over urgent issues in the future to discuss joint countermeasures, and to have more talks about the North Korea issue when they attend the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, Russia, in early September."
Regarding the issue, the presidential office is also seeking to arrange a phone conversation between Moon and his U.S. counterpart President Donald Trump, a Cheong Wa Dae official said, declining to be named.
Right after the North's latest provocation, Trump said that "all options" are on the table, a relatively muted response compared to his previous "fire and fury" rhetoric.
In the meantime, China said it is "working with other members" of the UNSC on a response to the missile launch.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said his country will make "a necessary response" to the recent launch, adding that any new sanctions should be discussed with UNSC members.
His remarks came hours after the UNSC unanimously condemned Tuesday's test and Japan's U.N. ambassador suggested a new sanctions declaration.
미일 국방장관 통화…"北미사일 도발에 압력 강화"
오노데라, 요격능력 강화 '이지스 어쇼어' 조기도입 협조 요청
매티스 '일본에 대한 미국의 방위책임 흔들림 없어'
제임스 매티스 미국 국방장관과 오노데라 이쓰노리(小野寺五典) 일본 방위상이 31일 오전 전화통화를 하고 북한의 미사일 도발에 양국이 긴밀히 공조해 대응하기로 했다.
교도통신에 따르면 두 사람은 통화에서 북한이 지난 29일 발사한 탄도미사일이 일본 상공을 통과한 것을 중대한 도발로 간주하고 미일 긴밀히 연대해 눈에 보이는 형태로 압력을 더욱 강화하기로 의견을 모았다.
특히 오노데라 방위상은 통화에서 북한 미사일에 대한 요격 능격 강화를 위해 '이지스 어쇼어'를 조기 도입하는데 미국측이 협력해 줄 것을 당부했다.
이지스 어쇼어는 해상자위대의 이지스함에 탑재된 요격미사일과 고성능 레이더를 지상에 배치하는 방식의 미사일요격시스템이다.
현재 이지스함에 배치된 해상배치형 요격미사일(SM-3)의 사거리가 최고고도 500㎞ 수준이어서 북한이 지난 29일 발사한 미사일이 일본 상공을 통과할 때(고도 550㎞)때는 요격이 불가능했다.
이에 미일은 최고 고도를 1천㎞ 이상으로 늘린 'SM3블록2A'를 공동개발하고 있지만 최종 완성단계에는 이르지 못한 것으로 전해졌다.
오노데라 방위상은 '우리나라의 안전보장에 있어서서 지금까지 도발 수준과는 다른 심각한 위협'이라고 북한의 지난 29일 미사일 발사를 비판했다.
대해 매티스 장관은 일본이 미국의 핵우산 아래에 있음을 언급하며 '일본에 대한 미국의 방위 책임은 흔들리지 않을 것'이라고 말했다.
오노데라 방위상은 또 최근 미 해군 이지스 구축함 존 S. 매케인이 싱가포르 동쪽 믈라카 해협에서 필리핀 유조선과 충돌한 사고를 언급하며 '이 사고가 탄도미사일 발사 등 북한의 위협에 대한 방어 태세에 영향을 주면 안된다'고 지적했다.(연합)
