Tokyo, 23 July [local time]: Japan, the United States and South Korea plan to jointly offer North Korea such incentives as security guarantees and power supplies in return for the North's commitment to end its nuclear weapons programme, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun reported Saturday [23 July].
The report said the three countries will also propose normalizing relations with North Korea as part of their first joint offer at the six-nation talks on the North's nuclear ambitions in Beijing beginning Tuesday.
"And when North Korea resolves such issues as missile launches and human rights, Japan and the US will both move to normalize ties with that nation," the leading Japanese economic daily said in a dispatch from Seoul.
The report said Japanese, American and South Korean officials drew up the measures during a meeting in Seoul on Thursday. The six- party talks also involve China and Russia.
