Japan is weighing high-level, direct talks with North Korea, potentially an August meeting between the two countries’ foreign ministers, local media said Wednesday.
The idea, which Tokyo officials declined to confirm, was reported by major local media as preparations appear back on track for an unprecedented summit between U. S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
The talks could take place on the sidelines of the ASEAN Regional Forum in August in Singapore, the Mainichi Shimbun newspaper said citing unnamed government sources.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga declined to confirm the reports. «We are aware of the media reports. Nothing has been decided, including whether or not the minister would attend the ASEAN related meetings,» he told a regular press conference.
