TOKYO, May 2 (UPI) -- Japanese diplomat Mitoji Yabunaka reportedly may visit China for talks with North Korean officials about the abductions of Japanese citizens.
Yabunaka, director general of the Japanese Foreign Ministry's Asian and Oceanian Affairs Bureau, is expected to hold talks with the North Koreans in Beijing this week to urge North Korea to send the families of five former Japanese abductees home to Japan, the Kyodo News Service reported Sunday.
It is unknown who will represent North Korea, but the Japanese government is hoping First Vice Foreign Minister Kang Sok Ju, a key diplomatic aide to North Korean leader Kim Jong Il, will attend the meeting.
Kyoto said Kang has been involved in discussing the abductions with Japan, and Tokyo is apparently hoping his attendance will further bilateral discussions.
