TOKYO, May 8 (UPI) -- Japanese and North Korean officials may meet next week in China, the Kyodo news service reported Saturday.
The two nations earlier this week met in Beijing to discuss the abduction of Japanese nationals during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Japan considers bringing home the relatives of five former abductees a priority.
The five were abducted and taken to North Korea during the late 1970s. They were repatriated in October 200, but have been unable to bring their North Korean born children and, in at least one case, a spouse, to Japan.
Mitoji Yabunaka, director of the Foreign Ministry's Asian and Oceanian Affairs Bureau, is expected to attend the next round of talks.
Yabunaka met Friday with the members of a group of families of abduction victims to brief them on the latest talks. The group is led by Shigeru Yokota, whose daughter was abducted to North Korea at the age of 13 in 1977.
