Japan's PM shows intention to meet North Korean leader

Japan's PM shows intention to meet North Korean leader
North Korea's Kim Yo Jong, the powerful sister of leader Kim Jong Un, said on Monday that Japanese Prime Fumio Kishida recently conveyed his intention to meet the North Korean leader soon through "another channel", state media KCNA reported.
However, Kim said that improving bilateral relations between the two countries will depend on whether Japan can make practical political decisions.
"The prime minister should know that just because he wants to and has made a decision, it doesn't mean he can, or the leadership of our country will meet him," Kim was quoted as saying in the KCNA report in Korean.
"What is clear is that when Japan antagonizes the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and violates its sovereign rights, it is considered our enemy and will become part of the target," Kim added.
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea is the North's official name.
Asked about the media reports on Kim's comment, Kishida reiterated the importance of a summit meeting to resolve bilateral issues such as the matter of Japanese citizens kidnapped by Pyongyang's agents decades ago.
"It is important to hold a top-level meeting to resolve the abduction issue and other problems. As I've been saying, we are approaching North Korea in various ways under my direct supervision," Kishida told a parliamentary session.
Kishida has said he wants to hold talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un "without any preconditions" and is personally overseeing efforts to realize the first such leader's summit in 20 years.
China's Coast Guard fired water cannons at Philippine ships in disputed waters of the South China Sea on Saturday, actions the Philippines called irresponsible and provocative.
Kim's sister, who serves in the ruling Workers' Party, last month said Kishida may one day visit Pyongyang.
"If Japan ... makes a political decision to open a new path for improving ties based on mutual respect and respectful behavior, it is my view that the two countries can open a new future," KCNA quoted her saying.
