Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong has condemned North Korea's missile launches and spoken out against its security pact with Russia, saying both were acting to destabilise the Indo-Pacific region and flout international law.
She will meet with her South Korean counterpart Cho Tae-yul and Prime Minister Han Duck-soo as Australia works with partners around the Korean peninsular to enforce United Nations sanctions against the North.
Senator Wong branded North Korea's actions "provocative and reckless" following repeated ballistic missile launches she said threatened the security of not only neighbours South Korea and Japan, but regional peace more broadly.
