Meanwhile, at the Shangri-la Dialogue in Singapore, Japanese and South Korean defense ministers have expressed very different views on engaging in talks with the DPRK.
ITSUNORI ONODERA JAPAN DEFENSE MINISTER "In light of how the DPRK behaved in the past, it is important not to reward it for agreeing to have dialogue."
SONG YOUNG MOO SOUTH KOREAN MINISTER OF NATIONAL DEFENSE "Just because we have been tricked by the DPRK before, does not guarantee that we will be tricked in the future. If we start to think like this, we can never negotiate with them and we can never look to achieve peace with them. Please believe the agreements by the two leaders of ROK and the DPRK are new promises to open a new era."
