Envoys from Japan, North may meet
Published: 12 May. 2014, 21:05
If Pyongyang accepts Tokyo’s proposal, it would be the highest-level meeting between the two countries since the rule of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un started in 2012.
The meeting would be possible if North Korea “is more open to dialogue,” the source said, cited by Kyodo in an English-language dispatch.
Kyodo said the ARF is the only international conference attended by foreign ministries from the two countries. In 2004, the foreign ministers from Tokyo and Pyongyang had such a meeting on the sidelines of the forum.
