Abduction victim family association: “We will not oppose the lifting of sanctions if all repatriations are realized”
2024-02-25 19:05:00
The family association of victims abducted by North Korea held a meeting in Tokyo and said, ``If all the abductees can be returned to Japan at once while their parents' families are still alive, we will lift the independent sanctions imposed by our country.'' We have put together a new activity policy that states, ``We will not oppose this.'' The reason why the families of the victims, who had previously called for sanctions against North Korea, are the first to go so far as to lift them, albeit with conditions, is that, as the population continues to age, the parents' generation is now using the lifting of sanctions as a cardinal. The aim is to urge North Korea to come to a complete resolution while it is still alive and well.
