Japan, China, S.Korea Foreign Ministers to meet in Tokyo

JAPAN: The foreign ministers of Japan, China and South Korea will hold a rare joint meeting in Tokyo on June 14 to discuss North Korea’s nuclear programme, officials said Tuesday.

Japanese Foreign Minister Masahiko Komura and his counterparts — China’s Yang Jiechi and South Korea’s Yu Myung-Hwan — will also discuss climate change and financial aid to Africa, Japanese foreign ministry officials said.

The meeting was announced as North Korea prepared to make a long overdue statement accounting for its nuclear programmes as part of a six-nation, US-backed disarmament deal.
