Families of Japanese nationals abducted by North Korea have conditionally accepted the lifting of Japan's sanctions against North Korea, provided all abductees are returned while their parents are still alive. This decision was reached during a joint meeting in Tokyo, involving both the families of the abductees and a supporting group. The move is seen as giving the Japanese government more flexibility in its approach to negotiations with North Korea, potentially facilitating a summit aimed at addressing the nuclear disarmament issue. Japan is also planning to call for a United Nations Security Council meeting on nuclear disarmament in March.
