Japan: it must remain on alert over N. Korea
Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida
Tokyo - Arab Today
Japan's foreign minister says his country needs to remain on alert over North Korea even after this weekend's celebrations, ABC News reported.
Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida made the comment to reporters Saturday just as a massive parade started in North Korea marking the 105th birthday of the country's late founder, Kim Il Sung.
Kishida noted that more events are expected in North Korea later in April, and said "there is a possibility that the country may take action on those occasions."
North Korea has another big military holiday on April 25, when its army marks its anniversary.
Kishida said that Japan needs "to be fully prepared to take various measures." He did not elaborate.
He said Japan's government has routinely coordinated with representatives of tens of thousands of Japanese residents in South Korea on contingency plans.

The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
