Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe says he wants to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un even though he keeps testing missiles. At the same time, Abe gave a cold shoulder to South Korea amid tensions over wartime history. By mariyamaguchi.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, center, chats with lawmakers after the opening of an extraordinary session at the upper house of parliament in Tokyo Friday, Oct. 4, 2019.

North Korea has resumed missile tests following the February collapse of its summit with the United States. The latest was a test-firing Wednesday of an underwater-launched missile, parts of which fell inside Japan’s exclusive economic zone. The U.S. talks resume Saturday in Stockholm. Unlike in the past, Abe did not mention South Korea in the context of cooperation on North Korean missile and nuclear threats.

Abe said economy is also his policy priority. Japan will take a leadership to promote “free, fair and rule-based trade zones across the world,” he said.Abe and his right-wing supporters have long campaigned to revise the U.S.-drafted war-renouncing constitution, as they see it as a legacy of Japan’s World War II defeat and humiliation during the U.S. occupation.

mariyamaguchi Not good.

mariyamaguchi C'est tout a fait normale de parler ainsi ,que Mr Abe ...et les presse souvent partiale sache que pour comprendre le comportement semblerait-il belliqueux du dirigeant Nord coréen ,faites arrêt sur le problème et mettez vous un bref instant a la place du dirigeant ?

mariyamaguchi North Korea's view on the centennial struggle against Japan is plenty clear, just as their insistence how landlords and factory owners profited from the colonial regime and slavery, a way frostier stance than comfort women. I see no reason why their meeting won't be a success ;)
