Japan's New Leader Seeks Summit with North Korea's Kim Jong Un
Japan's new Prime Minister, Sanae Takaichi, expressed her desire to hold a summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, a move that no Japanese leader has made in over 20 years.
"We have already conveyed to North Korea our desire to hold a summit meeting,"
Takaichi stated at a rally, where she demanded the return of Japanese citizens abducted by North Korea decades ago. This issue remains a significant point of contention between the two nations.
"I want the leaders to face each other directly and achieve concrete results,"
Takaichi emphasized, determined to resolve the abduction issue during her tenure.
- The abduction issue is a long-standing point of tension between Japan and North Korea.
- Previous attempts at bilateral talks have been hindered by the two nations' complex history of colonization and conflict.
