SEOUL/TOKYO — North Korea's Kim Yo-jong, the powerful sister of leader Kim Jong-un, said on Monday (March 25) that Japanese Prime Fumio Kishida recently conveyed his intention to meet the North Korean leader soon through 'another channel', state media KCNA reported.

Kim Yo-jong, sister of North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un, arrives at the Vostochny Сosmodrome before a meeting of Russia's President Vladimir Putin with North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un, in the far eastern Amur region, Russia, Sept 13, 2023.

"The prime minister should know that just because he wants to and has made a decision, it doesn't mean he can or the leadership of our country will meet him," Kim was quoted as saying in the KCNA report in Korean. "It is important to hold a top-level meeting to resolve the abduction issue and other problems. As I've been saying, we are approaching North Korea in various ways under my direct supervision," Kishida told a parliamentary session.
