Japan, UK agree UN Security Council must take strong action against North Korea

British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said Sunday he had spoken with his Japanese counterpart Fumio Kishida and both had agreed the UN Security Council should take strong action against North Korea for launching a long-range rocket.

North Korea said the rocket was carrying a satellite, but its neighbours and the United States denounced the launch as a missile test, conducted in defiance of UN sanctions and just weeks after a nuclear bomb test.
