Tokyo urged to adjust stance over Pyongyang

Japan should clarify its stance on Korean Peninsula issues and avoid using it to ease domestic political pressure, an expert said, as Tokyo has shown its anxiety over the upcoming DPRK-US dialogue.

On Tuesday, Republic of Korea President Moon Jae-in's special envoys met with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in Tokyo to explain the result of their visits to Pyongyang and Washington last week.

"I believe it is extremely important that North Korea takes concrete actions to achieve what it has said," Abe said.
