Sherman’s call with Japanese Vice FM Mori and Republic of Korea Vice FM Choi

WASHINGTON, 12 March 2022, (TON): Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman spoke with Republic of Korea First Vice Foreign Minister Choi Jong Kun and Japanese Vice Foreign Minister Mori Takeo to discuss shared concerns about the DPRK’s WMD and ballistic missile programs. 

They also discussed the importance of unified action to hold Russia accountable for Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine.

Deputy Secretary Sherman strongly condemned the DPRK’s recent ballistic missile launches, which brazenly violated multiple UN Security Council resolutions and were a serious escalation by the DPRK. 

She underscored the ironclad U.S. commitment to the defense of our allies, the ROK and Japan. 

The Deputy Secretary reaffirmed U.S. commitment to the complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and continued efforts to seek diplomacy with the DPRK.
