| N. Korea won’t have ‘bright future’ if it keeps testing nukes & missiles – Japan PM Abe | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| North Korean nuclear and missile programs are a serious threat to global stability, Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said, adding that if Pyongyang continued to pursue its agenda, it will not have a “bright future.” | |
| “Today at the meeting with President Putin we had a profound discussion of the North Korea issue, which is now a threat that requires an urgent response,” Shinzo Abe told a joint press conference with Russia’s President Vladimir Putin at the Eastern Economic Forum on Thursday. | |
| “This is a serious threat to peace and stability in the Korean Peninsula; this is a serious challenge to the global non-proliferation of nuclear weapons. We have the same understanding of the situation. I condemn North Korea in the strongest verbal form possible for the nuclear testing conducted.” | |
| “If North Korea follows this path, it will not have a bright future. This is a message that should be sent to North Korea to make it change its stance,” Abe stressed. | |
| Russia and Japan have reached a common understanding of the Korean Peninsula’s issues and will cooperate closely, including within the UN Security Council, Abe added. |
