TOKYO — Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres agreed Wednesday to keep enforcing UN Security Council sanctions in hopes of reaching the goal of a denuclearized North Korea.
Guterres is visiting Japan to attend Thursday’s ceremony marking the 73rd anniversary of the US atomic bombing of Nagasaki as the first UN chief to do so. Abe hailed Guterres’ participation in the annual service.
At a press conference after their meeting at his office, Abe said, “We recognize it is necessary for the international community to maintain full implementation of sanctions based on the (US) Security Council resolutions to draw concrete action from North Korea.”
Tensions on the Korean Peninsula have eased somewhat since the North’s leader Kim Jong Un declared his commitment to denuclearization in a meeting with US President Donald Trump at a historic summit in Singapore in June.
But negotiations between the countries have made little progress with Pyongyang yet to have made any concrete step.
