NEW YORK -- Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga vowed to "miss no opportunity" to establish a constructive relationship with North Korea in his prerecorded maiden United Nations speech streamed Friday.
"I am ready to meet with Chairman Kim Jong Un without any conditions," he said after noting that Japan seeks to normalize its relationship with Pyongyang.
