Japan responds cautiously to Korea nuclear briefing
JAPANESE Prime Minister Shinzo Abe reacted cautiously yesterday after being briefed by South Korea’s intelligence chief Suh Hoon on North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s recent overtures.
“I believe it is extremely important that North Korea takes concrete actions to achieve what it has said,” he commented.
Mr Suh, who met Mr Kim in Pyongyang last week, told his host: “I think it was very meaningful that Workers Party of Korea chairman Kim Jong Un expressed his intentions toward denuclearisation in his own words.”
