The families of victims abducted by North Korea held a large-scale rally in Tokyo. They called for the government's efforts and North Korea's decision to realize the return of all victims while their parents' generation is still alive.
Prime Minister Kishida expressed his intention to initiate high-level consultations in order to realize a Japan-North Korea summit meeting at an early date. This is the first time in the 26-year history of the Association of Families of Abductees that the family association has stepped into "support" for North Korea.
