U.S. President Joe Biden and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida reaffirmed their commitment to the complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, Friday (local time).
The leaders also condemned North Korea's recent ballistic missile launches in their virtual bilateral summit, according to the White House.
"The two leaders condemned the recent ballistic missile launches by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), which are in violation of United Nations Security Council resolutions," the White House said regarding the summit in a press release, referring to North Korea by its official name.
The North has conducted four sets of missile launches since the start of this year, including the test firing of what Pyongyang claims was a new hypersonic missile in two of the launches.
"Toward the complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, both leaders committed to maintain close coordination on DPRK issues moving forward, in lockstep with the Republic of Korea (ROK)," the press release said.
The Biden-Kishida summit marked the first of its kind since the Japanese leader took office in October. (Yonhap)
