Japan Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has proposed summit with Kim Jong Un: North Korea

The Hindu  

North Korea said on March 25 that Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has proposed a summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, as the North urged Japan to show sincerity toward improving bilateral ties and realising their countries' first summit in about 20 years. Kim Yo Jong said there will be no breakthrough in North Korea-Japan relations as long as Mr. Kishida’s government raises the issue of Japanese citizens abducted to North Korea in past decades and opposes what she described as the North’s “exercise of sovereign rights,” apparently referring to the North’s weapons testing activities. “The Prime Minister should know that he won’t be able to meet the leadership of our country just because he wants to or just because he’s determined to.” In February, Kim Yo Jong issued a similar statement on bilateral ties, saying North Korea was open to improving relationships with Japan and even inviting Mr. Kishida to Pyongyang. Earlier on Monday, North Korea’s state media reported that Kim Jong Un supervised a tank exercise and encouraged his armoured forces to sharpen war preparations in the face of growing tensions with South Korea.
