ASEAN-China-Korea summit meeting Prime Minister tells the Korean Peninsula denuclearization November 4: 11:54
Prime Minister Abe visiting Thailand attended the summit meeting of 10 ASEAN member countries and 3 countries of Japan, China and Korea. It appears that Japan has been conveying its position to boost the US-North Korean process toward denuclearization of the Korean peninsula and is calling for cooperation in efforts to prevent North Korea ’s efforts to avoid sanctions.
Prime Minister Abe, on the morning of the 4th of Japan time, followed the meeting with ASEAN, the presidency of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, and Prime Minister Prayut of Thailand. We attended a meeting with the leaders of the three countries.
At the meeting, Prime Minister Abe welcomed the idea that ASEAN itself would be actively involved in avoiding conflicts based on international law, and said, “In pursuit of a synergistic effect with Japan ’s free and open Indo-Pacific. "I would like to contribute to the improvement of connectivity in order to achieve this. Japan will focus on ASEAN's centrality and unity and cooperate in a wide range of fields."
With North Korea trying to improve its missile technology, such as ballistic missiles, it conveys Japan's position to support the US-North Korean process toward denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and avoids sanctions in North Korea. It seems to be calling for cooperation in efforts to prevent movement.
In the afternoon, Prime Minister Abe attended the EAS = East Asia Summit to discuss regional security together with the United States and Russia, and the unilateral attempt to change the status of the South China Sea situation with China in mind as a military base I'm going to raise concerns about threatening safety.
