Thinking to do everything to return all abductees to Japan Abe June 10, 14:57
After the death of Megumi Yokota's father, Shigeru Yokota, who was abducted by North Korea, Prime Minister Abe told the House of Representatives Budget Committee, ``I strongly appeal to North Korea with Japanese voice and feelings. It is important to do so.” He stressed the idea of making every effort to return all the abductees to their countries of return.
Among them, Prime Minister Abe said, "Mr. Yokota and Mrs. Yokota decided to make a considerable preparation and gave Megumi's real name, so the abduction issue attracted national attention and many people supported it. It is important to appeal to North Korea by uniting the voice and feelings of Japan, and it is the feelings of the people that make a big difference."
On top of that, Prime Minister Abe said, "To solve the abduction issue is to regain all the Japanese abducted by North Korea and fulfill the return of all of you. Unfortunately, as Prime Minister, it has not been realized yet. I am sorry for the fact that there is nothing, and I am very sorry. I want to do my best to realize the return of the victims as soon as possible."
