NAYPYITAW - Foreign ministers of Japan, the United States and South Korea began talks Sunday in the Myanmar capital Naypyitaw in which they are likely to reaffirm close trilateral coordination in curbing North Korea's missile and nuclear weapons development.
Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida is expected to tell U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and South Korean Foreign Minister Yun Byung Se that Japan will continue to employ a strict policy against North Korea in an effort to dispel their concern that Tokyo's approach to Pyongyang over the abduction issue could undermine coordinated action against the North over its missile and nuclear programs.
