Abductee family association returns from US visit, requests US cooperation for early resolution

On the 25th, the Abduction Victims' Family Liaison Association (Family Association) returned to the United States after completing a visit to the United States to appeal for an early resolution of the abduction issue by North Korea. Takuya (58), the association's representative and younger brother of Megumi Yokota, who was 13 at the time of her abduction, said that he showed U.S. government officials Megumi's gym clothes and other items and asked for their cooperation. ``I was able to make them understand how a small girl was abducted, and how cruel and unreasonable it was,'' he said.

During their stay starting on the 21st, the family association, the support group ``Save Kai,'' and the abduction coalition held a total of 13 meetings at the State Department, the House of Representatives, and the House of Representatives. To help people imagine what the victims were like, Takuya showed Megumi the gym uniform she wore in elementary school, as well as an orange scarf that Megumi had knitted after being taught by her mother, Sakie, but which she was unable to use because she had been abducted, and appealed for cooperation in resolving the situation as soon as possible.
