(MENAFN- Qatar News Agency) Kyo july 03 (qna) - japan decided thursday to lift some of its sanctions against north korea in return for launching a new round of investigations into the issue of pyongyang's abductions of japanese nationals in the 1970s and 1980s.
japanese prime minister shinzo abe said his government made the decision after determining that an abduction investigation committee pyongyang is to launch friday will be linked to leader kim jong un and thus possess robust authority to probe any organ in the country according to (kyodo) news agency.
"we have judged that (north korea) has formed an unprecedented system involving the national defense commission and the ministry of state security organizations that can make decisions at a state level" abe told reporters after a meeting of cabinet members involved in the abduction issue. (qna)
