Philippian President, Rodrigo Duterte today is expected to meet Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in Tokyo, with North Korea nuclear war being a major agenda for their negotiations.
Speaking to reporters before the meeting today, Duterte said he hoped Japan, the US and South Korea and China would consider sending him a representative for negotiations with North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un, to help reduce the current dispute and prevent the occurrence of nuclear war, which he said was unacceptable.
'' It's going to be a wise thing if the United States, Japan and South Korea will persuade Mr. Kim Jong Un to sit down at the negotiation table and tell him that nobody is shocking and that there will be no war, '' said Duterte.
Kim is a dangerous person
Duterte, who will have a two-day visit in Japan from today, said all world leaders agree that Kim is a dangerous person. The Filipino leader who is known for misuse and abusive speech against his critics, previously described Kim as' a fool '' accusing him of playing his dangerous games.
