SEOUL, South Korea \u2014 The United States, South Korea and Japan conducted perhaps their biggest-ever combined naval exercises in a show of strength against nuclear-armed North Korea, South Korea\u2019s military said Wednesday. The three allies\u2019 senior diplomats were to meet in Seoul to discuss the worsening standoff with Pyongyang<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The training in waters off South Korea\u2019s Jeju island, which involved an American aircraft carrier, was aimed at sharpening the countries\u2019 combined deterrence and response capabilities against North Korean nuclear, missile and underwater threats, and also training for preventing illicit maritime transports of weapons of mass destruction, South Korea\u2019s Joint Chiefs of Staff said. It didn\u2019t specify whether the training reflected concerns about North Korea\u2019s alleged arms transfers to Russia<\/a> to help that country\u2019s war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has been on a provocative run of weapons testing<\/a> and threats that raised regional tensions to their highest point in years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Monday at Pyongyang\u2019s rubber-stamp parliament, Kim declared that North Korea would abandon its long-standing commitment<\/a> to a peaceful unification with South Korea and ordered a rewriting of North\u2019s constitution to eliminate the idea of a shared statehood between the war-divided countries. He said South Koreans were \u201ctop-class stooges\u201d of America who were obsessed with confrontation, and repeated a threat that the North would annihilate the South with its nukes if provoked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kim\u2019s speech came a day after the North conducted its first ballistic test of 2024<\/a>, which state media described as a new solid-fuel, intermediate-range missile tipped with a hypersonic warhead, reflecting its push to advance its lineup of weapons targeting U.S. military bases in Guam and Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to the North\u2019s heightened testing activity, the United States and its Asian allies have been expanding their combined military exercises. Kim condemns the demonstrations as invasion rehearsals, and the drills increasingly feature major U.S. military assets, including aircraft carriers, long-range bombers and nuclear-capable submarines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kim has also been strengthening his regional footing by boosting the visibility of his ties with Russia and China \u2014 two neighbors that are also locked in confrontations with the United States \u2014 as he attempts to break out of isolation and join a united front against Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui traveled to Moscow, where she met Tuesday with Russian President Vladimir Putin for talks on improving bilateral relations amid growing international concern about alleged arms cooperation between the countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The North\u2019s official Korean Central News Agency said Choe in a separate meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov had unspecified discussions on intensifying their countries\u2019 \u201cjoint action over the regional and international issues including the situation in the Korean Peninsula.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

South Korea\u2019s Joint Chiefs of Staff said the trilateral naval drills \u2014 a three-day program that concluded Wednesday \u2014 involved nine warships, including U.S. aircraft carrier Carl Vinson and Aegis destroyers from South Korea and Japan. The drills usually involve around five vessels. South Korea\u2019s military did not immediately confirm media assessments that the exercise was the country\u2019s largest trilateral naval drill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Seoul, South Korean nuclear envoy Kim Gunn met Wednesday with Japanese counterpart Hiroyuki Namazu ahead of a trilateral meeting planned for Thursday with U.S. President Joe Biden\u2019s deputy special representative for North Korea, Jung Pak, to coordinate their response to the North. Kim and Namazu discussed the North Korean leader\u2019s latest comments toward the South and the North\u2019s recent military actions, including Sunday\u2019s missile test and its recent artillery firings near a disputed sea boundary<\/a> with the South, Seoul\u2019s Foreign Ministry said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe two sides regretted North Korea\u2019s aggressive rhetoric<\/a> that misrepresents the cause of rising regional tensions and threatens war, and agreed that such actions will only strengthen trilateral security cooperation\u201d with Washington, the South Korean ministry said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The envoys also discussed Choe\u2019s visit to Russia and vowed to coordinate a \u201cstern and unified\u201d international response to any illicit military cooperation between Moscow and Pyongyang, the ministry said, including the alleged transfers of North Korean missiles to Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The U.S. and South Korean governments have claimed that North Korea has been providing Russia with arms supplies, including artillery and missiles, to help prolong its invasion of Ukraine. Both Moscow and Pyongyang have denied the accusation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While expanding his country\u2019s military cooperation with Washington and Tokyo, conservative South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has also been seeking stronger reassurances from Washington that it would swiftly and decisively use its nuclear capabilities to defend its ally in the event of a North Korean nuclear attack.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
