TOKYO -- Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told South Korean President Moon Jae-in Friday that North Korea must take concrete steps toward scrapping its nuclear program, such as submitting to inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
In a 40-minute phone conference, the two leaders agreed to continue exerting "maximum pressure" on Pyongyang toward the complete, verifiable and irreversible denuclearization of North Korea, according to sources in their governments.
