U.S. President Joe Biden held a trilateral meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and the Republic of Korea (ROK)'s President Yoon Suk-yeol in Cambodia on Sunday.

After the trilateral meeting, Biden called their countries "critical allies" that share the United States' concerns about the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK)'s missile tests.

ROK's Yoon denounced the DPRK's recent moves, and Japan's Kishida said its actions were "unprecedented" and more provocations could be expected from Pyongyang.

The DPRK did not immediately response to the comments.

The DPRK carried out a series of military operations, including test-firing a ballistic missile, from November 2 to 5, but it has noted that its recent missile launches were simulated strikes on the ROK and the U.S. as the two countries held a "dangerous war drill."

Earlier in the day, Biden also had separate meetings with Kishida and Yoon.
