The Foreign Secretary has not discussed this issue with Prime Minister Abe. However, following the 15 September launch the Foreign Secretary spoke to his Japanese counterpart, Taro Kono and Chinese Foreign Minister, Wang Yi. The Foreign Secretary and I have had regular contact with our US, Chinese, South Korean, Japanese and EU counterparts over the past month, including at the UN General Assembly in New York. The UK and the international community have condemned the aggressive and illegal actions of the North Korean regime, and the succession of missile and nuclear tests and we stand firmly by the Republic of Korea, Japan and our other international partners.
