Resuming normalization

In a joint declaration released after the talks, Koizumi and Kim agreed the two countries would resume bilateral normalization talks next month.

Kim also promised to stop the frequent espionage operations by ship.

Kim and Koizumi agreed that the two countries should settle Pyongyang's demand for compensation for Japan's 1910-1945 colonial rule through economic cooperation, such as grants and low-interest loans, that would be extended by Tokyo once bilateral relations are normalized.

Koizumi meanwhile expressed Japan's "deep remorse and heartfelt apology" toward the people of North Korea for the period of colonial rule.
