The Japanese government is reportedly pushing for a meeting of concerned parties to discuss the denuclearization of North Korea. 

Japan’s Kyodo News on Wednesday quoted multiple Japanese government officials as saying that the Japanese government plans to propose that top leaders of related countries hold a meeting to discuss cooperation on the complete denuclearization of the North during the UN General Assembly’s annual session to be held in September. 

Kyodo said that Japan is not ruling out the possible participation in the meeting by North Korea’s top-ranking officials, including leader Kim Jong-un. 

Such a meeting, if realized, will likely ease Tokyo’s concerns about Japan being sidelined in matters regarding the denuclearization of the North. 

Japan is also reportedly reviewing a plan to propose the creation of a new international organization to help finance the North’s denuclearization process, involving inspections and the scrapping of the regime’s nuclear facilities, among other activities. 

Japan is known to be hoping that South Korea and the United States will join the organization along with China, Russia and the European Union.
