Japan and North Korea to hold talks later this month
Japan and North Korea will hold talks later this month, after a gap of four long years, to discuss repatriation of the remains of around 21,000 Japanese buried there during Tokyo's occupation of the peninsula at the end of World War II.
North Korea on Thursday proposed talks with South Korea on a wide range of issues from reopening a shuttered joint industrial complex to resuming cross-border family reunions.
