SINGAPORE -- The two most important Asia-Pacific security issues, North Korea's denuclearization and the South China Sea, continue to generate suspicion and friction between regional neighbors, a meeting of senior defense officials in Singapore showed on Saturday.
The second day of the annual gathering, known as the Shangri-La Dialogue, began hours after U.S. President Donald Trump announced he would meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore on June 12 as originally planned.
