Seoul | North Korea said on Monday that Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has proposed a summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, as North Korea urged Japan to show sincerity toward improving bilateral ties and realising their countries’ first summit in about 20 years.
Japan’s government did not immediately respond to the North Korean announcement. In the statement carried by state media, Mr Kim’s sister and senior official Kim Yo-jong said Mr Kishida used an unspecified channel to convey his position that he wants to meet Kim Jong-un in person at an early date.
