"Extremely Important" For North Korea To Be Committed To Denuclearisation: Japan

Tokyo,Japan:  Japan's top government spokesman said on Wednesday that it is "extremely important" that North Korea show its commitment and concrete actions toward abandonment of its nuclear missile development in a complete, verifiable and irreversible way.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told a news conference that it was necessary to respond to North Korea's possible offer of dialogue based on the lesson from past talks that did not lead to denuclearisation.
