Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said on Wednesday (September 12) he wanted to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un but that there had been no discussions as yet to arrange any such summit.
Speaking at an economic forum in Vladivostok, in Russia's Far East, Abe said it had been bold of U.S. President Donald Trump to hold a summit with Kim, and that he had high hopes for an upcoming inter-Korean summit in Pyongyang. - Copyright Holder: POOL (CAN SELL)
