Inoki hopes Japanese PM Abe will visit to Pyongyang soon

An upcoming international pro-wrestling event to take place in Pyongyang at the end of August is a chance to create a better environment for Japanese-North Korean relations, the Japanese pro wrestler turned politician Antonio Inoki told a press conference on Thursday.

Speaking at the Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Japan in Tokyo, Inoki hoped that the event would lead to eliminating prejudice and preconceptions by deepening exchanges between two nations.
