Amid uncertainties over the situation on the Korean Peninsula, senior officials from the two governments in charge of the North Korean issue discussed by phone and added South Korea to Japan and the U.S. to resolve the issue while paying attention to North Korean trends. We agreed that the three countries need to work closely together.

The situation on the Korean Peninsula repelled by North Korea's defector groups in South Korea skipping flyers criticizing Kim Jung-un (Kim Jong-un), the chairman of the Korean Labor Party, and a joint liaison office with South Korea was set up this month. In addition to the bombings, the uncertainties have increased, such as renewing warnings of military measures.

Under these circumstances, Director of the Department of Foreign Affairs Takizaki Asia-Pacific and Deputy Secretary of State of the US Department of State Vegan, which was in charge of the North Korean issue, had a telephone discussion on the night of the 19th.

In this, they exchanged opinions on the recent North Korean situation, including North-South relations, analyzed the intentions of a series of provocations by North Korea, and focused on the trends of North Korea to solve the problem. We agreed that the three countries, including Japan, the US and South Korea, need to work closely together.
