North Korea has asked Japan to send officials to the rogue state to meet with “survivors” of its abductions, a source told the Japan Times on Sunday.
The meeting came the day after Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe promised that his job “would not be over” until all abductees, taken from Japan between 1977 and 1983, were accounted for, in an apparent effort to put more pressure on the regime.
