Britain and Japan said on Thursday they would cooperate in countering the threat posed by North Korea, two days after it fired a missile over northern Japan, and will pledge closer ties in defense, cyber security and counter-terrorism, Reuters reports.

"North Korea’s reckless action is a threat" to Japan, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told his National Security Council alongside May. "Japan and Britain will cooperate to counter this."

May added: "Against a backdrop of a more uncertain world, I want you all to know that Japan can count on the United Kingdom as a dependable and like-minded partner."
