Japan, South Korea and the United States on Tuesday welcomed the results of a recent visit to North Korea by a South Korean envoy, in which Pyongyang agreed to resume dialogue with the three countries.
During regular trilateral working-level talks in Tokyo, officials agreed to continue to coordinate their policies toward North Korea and keep up the momentum for dialogue, according to a Foreign Ministry official who briefed the media on the meeting.
South Korean envoy Lim Dong Won and North Korean leader Kim Jong Il agreed last week to resume family reunions and economic cooperation talks, and to accept a U.S. envoy visit to North Korea.
