Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said his government is “using various channels” to communicate with North Korea, including over a potential summit with Kim Jong Un.
Asked by a reporter about meeting Kim, Abe said last year’s summit between the North Korean leader and U.S. President Donald Trump meant the “situation has greatly changed” and as both sides work toward further talks, “I think next time around I will also have to face Kim Jong Un.”
