Top national security officials from the US, South Korea and Japan pledged to deepen their security cooperation and jointly respond to North Korea’s cyber activities, which it uses to bolster funding for its sanctioned nuclear and missile programs.
The three countries are pushing for a new trilateral initiative to act against North Korea’s military threats as well as cyber crimes and cryptocurrency money laundering, the officials — Jake Sullivan of the US, Takeo Akiba of Japan and South Korea’s Cho Tae-yong — said Saturday following a meeting in Seoul, according to Yonhap.
