The influential sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un rejected Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s reported interest in holding a summit with Kim, saying talks wouldn’t happen simply because Japan wants them.
“If the prime minister of Japan seeks to resolve its unilateral matter not recognized by us, our state leadership will have no intention to meet or sit face to face with her,” Kim Yo Jong said, according to the Korean Central News Agency, North Korea’s state media.
