The PM Malcolm Turnbull will speak again with US President Donald Trump over the phone this morning. The conversation will be one of many Mr Trump has had with allies about the threat of North Korea.
The rogue state carried out a sixth nuclear test over the weekend, the latest in a string of provocative actions by Pyongyang. Both leaders have called on China to play a greater role in controlling the regime.
Defence Minister Marise Payne will depart for Seoul later today to discuss the threat and "de-stabilising behaviour" of North Korea. She says she is "acutely aware" of reports North Korea may be preparing for another missile test.
