Quick Glance: Japanese PM Offers to Meet Kim Jong Un, Conditions Pose Challenges
- North Korea states that Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida proposed a meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un 'as soon as possible,' contingent on Tokyo's stance towards North Korea's weapons program and past abductions of Japanese nationals.
- Kishida emphasizes the importance of a meeting with Kim to address the abduction issue, but North Korea's preconditions make a Kim-Kishida summit unlikely.
- Kim Yo Jong, Kim Jong Un's sister, highlights the need for Japan to make political decisions aligned with its overall interests to enhance bilateral relations and regional peace.
- Experts suggest that a potential meeting could benefit both North Korea and Japan, with North Korea aiming to strengthen its position and Japan considering potential economic assistance if ties normalize.

Japan high court says same-sex marriage bar is unconstitutional: A high court in Japan on Thursday said the country's ban on same-sex marriage was ...
reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/japan-high-court-says-not-allowing-same-sex-marriage-is-unconstitutional-media-2024-03-14/
Quick Glance: Japanese High Court Rules Denial of Same-Sex Marriage Unconstitutional
- A Japanese high court ruled that denying same-sex marriage is unconstitutional and urged immediate government action to address the lack of laws allowing for such unions.
- The court lacks the power to overturn the current marriage law, which limits marriage to a man and a woman. Government offices can continue to deny marriage status to same-sex couples unless the law is revised to include LGBTQ+ couples or a new law is enacted.
- The Sapporo High Court ruling emphasized that not permitting same-sex couples to marry and enjoy equal benefits as heterosexual couples violates their fundamental right to have a family.
- Japan is the only G7 nation that still excludes same-sex couples from legal marriage rights and spousal benefits.
