The U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, during her rare visit to Tokyo, pledged America's support to resolve the issue of Japanese nationals abducted by North Korea decades ago. In a series of meetings, including one with the families of the abductees, Thomas-Greenfield emphasized that the U.S. stands with Japan until all abductees are returned home, ending their painful separation. This commitment was reiterated in a courtesy call with Japanese Prime Minister Kishida, where both vowed continued cooperation over North Korea. The ambassador's visit, following a trip to South Korea, is part of a broader effort to bolster the U.N.'s relevance and strengthen ties with its allies, both of whom are currently members of the Security Council.
