India under U.S. pressure to scale down ties with North Korea:
Context
- Following the North Korean missile tests, visiting U.S. officials have asked India to cut down ties with Pyongyang.
Why such pressure?
- American pressure on the issue has been rising over the last few months even as India joined Japan last week in describing North Korea as a common threat.
- An India-Japan joint statement issued at the end of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s visit last week called upon North Korea to roll back its nuclear and missile programmes.
- India and Japan have pledged to work together to deal with the current serious situation and called on the international community to rigorously and fully implement relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions to maximize pressure on North Korea.
