Beijing, 14 September: North Korea told Japan in a bilateral meeting Wednesday [14 September] that Pyongyang is studying Japan's requests concerning North Korea's abductions of Japanese citizens, the Japanese Foreign Ministry said.
Japan made the requests during a previous bilateral meeting in August.
In Wednesday's meeting, held on the sidelines of the six-nation nuclear talks in Beijing, Japan urged Pyongyang to resume full- fledged bilateral negotiations on contentious issues including the abductions, the ministry said.
The meeting was held between Kenichiro Sasae, director general of the ministry's Asian and Oceanian Affairs Bureau, and North Korean Vice Foreign Minister Kim Kye-gwan. They are their countries' chief delegates to the multilateral talks.
