She also said Tokyo wants to enhance its security partnership with Washington, Jerusalem Online reports. "The longstanding alliance between the USA and Japan contributes to the peace and stability in the region". "China's declared policy of a denuclearised Korean Peninsula is our policy as well, and also that of Japan and the Republic of Korea".

The United States has led the efforts to bring further sanctions to punish the North and is urging China, Pyongyang's primary sponsor, to play a greater role in applying pressure on the unpredictable regime of Kim Jong-un.

Trump - who frequently denounced China on the campaign trail - has turned to Beijing to help rein in North Korea's weapons programme. The sanctioned parties will have some of their assets frozen, and the individuals named could face travel bans.

North Korea and its nuclear weapons programme pose a "threat to us all", US Defence Secretary Jim Mattis said on Saturday, calling on the worldwide community to work together on the issue.

Pyongyang has how conducted a dozen ballistic missile experiments this year, in defiance of United Nations sanctions warnings and amid suspicions that it may be preparing for another nuclear test. Washington described drill as "routine training", even as the USA and Japan step up their rhetoric with an eye to ending North Korea's missile and nuclear programs. When asked if the U.S. would attack the North preemptively and without warning South Korea, Mattis only said the USA was "trying to exhaust all possible alternatives" to avert North Korea's nuclear ambitions. "We consider it urgent", he added, AP reports.

The Trump administration has been pressing China for help USA in action against North Korea, the officials of State warned North Korea that all the options are on the table if Pyongyang continues to launch its missiles.
