Japan has called on China to increase cooperation on curbing North Korea’s nuclear weapons programme.
The call was made by Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Kono during a meeting with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi in Beijing today.
In remarks, Kono praised the progress between the countries towards improving ties, while calling on Beijing to do more to curb Pyongyang’s weapons programme.
Wang told Kono that relations between the two countries are at a crucial stage and there is positive progress, but many disturbances and obstacles remain. He hoped that the two sides could work together to push ties toward the track of normal and sound development at an early date.
