The news article discusses the growing concern in Japan over potential talks with North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un. While specifics of the talks have yet to be confirmed, the mere speculation is enough to prompt a mixed reaction not only in the political circles, but also across the Japanese society.

In Japan, the potential of negotiations with North Korea is seen with a mix of hope and concern. Given a history of abductions of Japanese citizens by North Korea, talks involving the North Korean leader is a highly sensitive issue. The Japanese society seeks a resolution for this long-standing problem but is also wary about the unpredictability surrounding negotiations with North Korea.

In the US and EU, similar negotiations with North Korea have been marred by a lack of trust due to broken agreements in the past. However, there is a continuous push to resolve the issue diplomatically. The US and EU have also emphasized the importance of denuclearization in their discussions with North Korea.
