SEOUL – A South Korean newspaper reported Wednesday that Japan has conveyed to the United States its readiness to host a second U. S.-North Korea summit being arranged by Washington and Pyongyang.
The Kyunghyang Shinmun, without quoting a source, said North Korea has reacted positively to the offer, adding that Japan appears to be considering a “resort” other than Tokyo for the location of such a summit.
But in Tokyo, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga denied the report.
As for Japan’s motive for hosting the planned summit between U. S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, the daily said Japan is likely seeking to avoid being kept from being involved in intensifying dialogue regarding the Korean Peninsula.
