Shinzo Abe vows to bring up issue of Japanese citizens abducted by Pyongyang decades ago
Japanese news outlets say officials are seeking to arrange a summit between Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
According to government sources, expectations were raised after Kim told U. S. President Donald Trump during their meeting Tuesday in Singapore he is willing to hold talks with Abe.
The reports say Japanese officials plan to discuss the summit with their North Korean counterparts at a security conference this week in Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia. The summit could either take place in Pyongyang in August, or on the sidelines of a regional economic forum in Vladivostok, Russia, in September.
