NK, Japan to Discuss Abduction at China Talks

North Korea and Japan will hold working-level talks Monday and Tuesday in China’s northeastern city of Shenyang to discuss the North’s past abductions of Japanese citizens.

In the June talks on the issue, North Korea promised to launch a fresh investigation into the kidnapping of Japanese citizens in the 1970s and 1980s, reversing its long-standing position that the issue had been resolved.

Japan’s NHK said Thursday that the planned bilateral talks will focus on details of the potential probe, such as timing, method and scope.

Tokyo reportedly plans to ease some of the trade sanctions on North Korea if the bilateral talks produce significant results.
