President Barack Obama said on Tuesday that the United States of America would work with its allies to toughen sanctions on North Korea after nation launched more ballistic missiles this week.
North Korea fired three medium-prance missiles that travelled about 600 miles and landed near Japan border on Monday, according to reports from South Korean officials.
Obama said that the latest launches were provocative and that the country needed to know that such actions would increase its isolation in the world. Obama said that at a summit of the association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
President of South Korea Park Geun-hye also said that a string of nuclear tests and continued missile launches by its neighbour North Korea were threatening the security of the Korean Peninsula.
President Obama further added that both him and Park wants peace and security, adding that there is room for dialogue, if North Korea changed direction.
