In a press briefing Monday morning in Toronto, Toshihide Ando, deputy press secretary for Japan’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, said the G7 ministers agreed they should never accept a nuclear-armed North Korea and need to see concrete actions on the part of North Korea toward the denuclearization. They also expressed concerns that Kim Jong-un has announced a halt of nuclear tests and disassembly of equipment, but not denuclearization.
