A summit meeting between Japan, the United States and South Korea is likely to be held in mid-November with a view to strengthening deterrence against North Korea, according to government sources.
The three countries are arranging to hold the trilateral summit talks on the sidelines of international conferences to be held in Southeast Asia from Nov. 10-16, the sources said.
They aim to demonstrate their solidarity and enhance deterrence against Pyongyang, which has been launching ballistic missiles at an unprecedented rate and increasingly seems set to conduct its seventh nuclear test.
