South Korea and Japan leaders hold first meeting in years

After a freeze of more than three years, the leaders of South Korea and Japan resumed formal talks focusing on North Korea’s pursuit of nuclear bombs, and a long-running dispute over Japan’s wartime atrocities.
The closely watched meeting between South Korean president Park Geun-hye and Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe came a day after they held a three-way summit with China’s premier and agreed to improve ties.
