Sugiyama reported on the progress made in the Japan-South Korea August negotiation, which was postponed for 4 years. The three representatives underlined the role of Russia and China in resolving the North Korean nuclear issue and agreed to continue their trilateral sessions at a higher level. Six-party talks on N.Korea’s nuclear program stalled in 2008 when Pyongyang walked out.
