Japan, US and South Korea to Discuss North Korea PolicyDate Posted: 2000-04-01 The meeting is part of a continuing process of trilateral consultations on communist North Korea that were formalised in Hawaii last April, he added. Tension on the Korean peninsula escalated in August last year when North Korea launched the Taepodong long-range missile that flew over Japan into the Pacific Ocean. South and North Korea remain technically at war since their 1950-53 conflict ended in a truce rather than a peace treaty. Japan, which wants to keep in step with the United States and South Korea as they gradually improve relations with the North, is holding five days of talks with the North Koreans from April 4th. |
