TOKYO (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert discussed in Japan on Tuesday North Korea's missile cooperation with Iran, cautioning that both countries posed threats to the stability of Asia and the Middle East, an Israeli official said.
Japan's interest in missile defense has deepened since North Korea's surprise test-firing of a three-stage Taepo Dong 1 ballistic missile over the main Japanese island of Honshu on August 31, 1998.
"Iran is at the head of the axis of evil and together with North Korea presents a threat to the stability of Asia and the Middle East," Olmert told Japanese Defence Minister Shigeru Ishiba, the Israeli official told reporters.
