In this case, it seems that Kishida did not take the initiative but that Kim did.

cunning. At the beginning, for many years, they tried to destroy North Korea economically in every possible way; they imposed sanctions, imposed embargoes, tried to isolate the country. Now we saw that it didn’t work out and decided to make peace a little so as not to get punched in the teeth by Kim.

Good idea! Let's buy some of their ballistic and air defense missiles and 'de-escalate' thru market forces, let them spend the Yen!

"I believe it is extremely important for me to take the initiative and build a relationship" with Kim, Kishida told a parliamentary session. "I have to refrain from going into details, but I am constantly working (on North Korea) through various channels."

Very good! PM Kishida for take the initiative. Just look at the results of Joe's pride and ego, a prolonged conflict between Russia and Ukrain.

Still Putin's War. As an American, you ought to be able to understand that.

Kim was never going to punch anybody in the teeth and surrendering is not how you go about preventing that.

Always better to have better relations with NK or any other country. Because the alternative is WORSE!

Good job Kishida San, time to turn the page and look to a more peaceful future with NK!

Again, except for Radical Globalist NEOCON Military Industrial Complex Destabilization crowd that feeds off of conflict transactionalism - EVERYONE Else Benefits!

The fact remains this war was avoidable, if the far left progressive liberals didn’t push their uncle joe to arm Ukrainian we couldn’t be where we are now.

Why didn't he fly to Pyongyang and sort that kidnapping mystery out ? Perhaps K.J.will let those people out of North Korea if certain benefits has received!
