North-south conflict affects Koreans in Japan

Foreign ministers from Southeast Asia, the US and Europe are set to meet in Thailand for the ASEAN Regional Security Forum. North Korea is at the top of the agenda, as Asian governments seek ways to convince the communist country to halt its nuclear program.

Koreans currently live in many Asian countries including Japan, where they make up one of the largest ethnic minorities.
