Japanese and Canadian foreign ministers have agreed to continue "maximum pressure" on North Korea despite the country's pledge to suspend nuclear and missile launch tests.
Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Kono held talks with his Canadian counterpart, Chrystia Freeland, on Saturday ahead of a Group of 7 foreign ministers' meeting in Canada.
Kono stressed the need to continue pressuring North Korea to abandon all weapons of mass destruction and missiles. He said the North's pledge fell short of the level of the demands of the international community.
Freeland agreed with Kono, and the 2 ministers confirmed they would cooperate on measures to prevent Pyongyang evading sanctions.
They also confirmed that the Group of 7 will send a strong message at the foreign ministers' meeting, as well as at a summit in June, that they will work closely together to tackle issues facing the international community, including those of North Korea.
The ministers also signed an agreement to share supplies and services between Japan's Self-Defense Forces and the Canadian armed forces in disaster relief and other operations.

Financial ministers and central bank chiefs of the International Monetary Fund's policy making body have warned of trade conflicts as downside risks of the world economy.
The members of the International Monetary and Financial Committee, or IMFC, released a communique on Saturday after a 2-day meeting in Washington.
The communique said that the growth of the global economy "has further strengthened and is increasingly broad-based."
But it also expressed concerns over increasing trade and geopolitical tensions.
This comes as trade friction between the United States and China continues since US President Donald Trump introduced measures to limit imports.
The committee highlighted the importance of fighting protectionism and keeping markets open, citing the conclusions of the G20 Summit in Hamburg last year.
The IMFC Chairman and Governor of the South African Reserve Bank, Lesetja Kganyago, said at a press conference that the members shared the view that trade is significant for global economic recovery.
He added that countries should continue to use the multilateral system in dealing with global challenges.

Afghan security officials say a suicide bombing at a voter registration center in Kabul has killed at least 31 people and injured more than 50. It is the latest attack aimed at sabotaging a long-delayed parliamentary election.
The Amaq news agency, which has links with the Islamic State group, reports that the militants carried out the attack.
The officials say a man blew himself up on Sunday near the gate of a high school that serves as a voter registration center, and that victims include women and children.
Voter registration began this month for a lower house election set for October. The poll has been delayed for 3 years due to the deteriorating security situation.

More than a hundred thousand people have lined the route of a parade honoring Olympic figure skating champion Yuzuru Hanyu.
The parade took place Sunday afternoon on the main street of Sendai in northeastern Japan's Miyagi Prefecture. The city is Hanyu's birthplace.
Hanyu won a gold medal at the PyeongChang Winter Olympics in February. He is the first male figure skater in 66 years to win gold medals in 2 straight Olympics.
Hanyu received a prefectural honor award from Miyagi Governor Yoshihiro Murai before the parade started. The figure skating star also won a gold medal in the Sochi Olympic Games 4 years ago.
Hanyu told crowds of fans that he is glad to be back in Sendai with another gold medal. He thanked them and said their cheers and support helped him earn the medal.
The parade took about 40 minutes to travel the one- kilometer-long route to Sendai City Hall.
Crowds of people, including tourists from other countries, lined the street. Some waved fans with the words "Thank you" written on them. Others held up placards with newspaper clippings about Hanyu.
The event's organizer says 108,000 people watched the parade. That's 16,000 more than the parade held to honor Hanyu 4 years ago.

A summer-like spell of hot weather has gripped Japan, with temperatures soaring above 30 degrees Celsius across the country.
The Meteorological Agency says clear skies prevailed nationwide on Saturday due to a high pressure system over the Japanese archipelago. It adds that warm southerly winds blew into areas along the Sea of Japan coast and elsewhere.
Daytime highs hit 32.1 degrees in Kawamoto Town in the western prefecture of Shimane, and 31.8 degrees in both Toyooka City in the western prefecture of Hyogo and Marumori Town in the northeastern prefecture of Miyagi.
Temperatures topped 30 degrees at 27 observation points from northeastern to southwestern Japan.
Record-high temperatures for the month of April were recorded at 19 points.
More hot weather is forecast for Sunday. The daytime high in central Tokyo will likely hit 28 degrees, the highest this year.
The Meteorological Agency is advising people to drink plenty of fluids to prevent heatstroke.
