 "Shinzo Abe, Japan PM, Pyongyang, north korea, japan north korea relations, kidnapped japanese in north korea")
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is weighing a summit meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to seek a breakthrough in a dispute over Japanese citizens abducted by Pyongyang.
Since North Korea’s pivot to diplomacy began early this year, Mr Abe has stayed on the sidelines, wary of Pyongyang’s intentions. During that time, Mr Kim has held two meetings each with the leaders of China and South Korea, and a historic first summit with President Donald Trump.Now, it appears Mr Abe may dive in.
“We should have a summit meeting that resolves our mutual issues,” chief government spokesman Yoshihide Suga said
