TOKYO -- Japan, the U.S. and South Korea will work closely together to bring North Korea back to denuclearization talks, despite frosty relations between Tokyo and Seoul, top diplomats from the three countries agreed Wednesday.
The agreement came after Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi spoke for about an hour with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and South Korean Foreign Minister Chung Eui-yong on the sidelines of the Group of Seven foreign ministers' summit in London. This is the first such trilateral meeting since U.S. President Joe Biden took office.
