North Korean leader Kim Jong Un reportedly said he was open to dialogue with Japan during Tuesday’s summit in Singapore with US President Donald Trump.
A Japanese government source said on Thursday that Trump told Prime Minister Shinzo Abe that Kim was open to dialogue with Japan. The source said Trump suggested to Abe that negotiations on the abduction issue should be pursued along with those on North Korea’s denuclearization and that Japan should have a key role. Trump spoke by phone with Abe on Tuesday night on his way home from the summit. Abe told reporters that Trump had clearly conveyed Japan’s stance on the abduction issue to the North Korean leader.
