Kim Jong Un's Sister Views Japan PM's Comments as Positive Opportunity

Kim Yo Jong, the influential sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, expressed openness to closer ties with Japan, suggesting that Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's comments about resolving the matter of Japanese civilians abducted by North Korea in the 1970s and 1980s could be considered positive. The U.S. supports any diplomacy with North Korea, while also seeking coordination between Japan and South Korea on policy towards North Korea.
