Pyongyang, August 3 (KCNA) - Ex-prime minister of Japan Tomiichi Murayama who is chairman of the People's Association for Promotion of Japan-DPRK Diplomatic Relations stressed that the association would make sustained efforts to establish Japan-DPRK diplomatic relations in the future, according to a KNS report from Tokyo.
He made a speech at a reception given in Tokyo on July 29 to mark the second anniversary of the association.
He said that though the association was inaugurated in the year when the historic Pyongyang meeting took place, such difficult situation as the deadlock of the talks for improving the DPRK-U.S. relations, inter-Korean dialogue and those for establishing Japan-DPRK diplomatic relations was created after the emergence of the Tokyo government. As a result, the aim sought by the association in its early days remains unattained, he added.
