Koizumi Returns with Abductees' 5 Kids

Opening the way for an emotional reunion, Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi returned from a whirlwind summit with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) leader Kim Jong-il on Saturday with a major political trophy the five children of two Japanese couples who were kidnapped and taken to the DPRK decades ago.  

The parents of the five, who range in age from 16 to 22, met them with tears and hugs as they climbed down from the government plane that followed Koizumi's official jet home from his one-day trip to the DPRK capital, Pyongyang. The families then went to a Tokyo hotel to rest and prepare for their new lives together.

 

"They seem nervous about what's going to happen from now on," Yasushi Chimura said of his three children, but added they seemed well.

 

The reunion offers some closure to a bizarre saga that has captivated and outraged the Japanese public since Kim acknowledged in his first summit with Koizumi in 2002 that DPRK agents had systematically abducted Japanese citizens in the 1970s and 80s to train their spies in the Japanese language and culture.

 

One month after that summit, the DPRK allowed the two couples and Hitomi Soga whose husband is an American accused of deserting his Army unit in 1965 to return to Japan. Their relatives, however, had to remain behind.

 

"I think my summit here was very meaningful," Koizumi told reporters before flying back to Tokyo after just nine hours in Pyongyang. "The most beneficial thing for both countries would be to change from hostile relations to friendly relations, and from opposition to cooperation. That's why I came."

 

Saturday's summit left many issues unresolved, however.

 

In return for the families' release, Koizumi promised to provide 250,000 tons of food aid to the DPRK, along with US$10 million worth of medical supplies. He vowed to resume talks towards establishing formal diplomatic relations, but set no date.

 

Kim also vowed to respect a moratorium on long-range missile launches. Virtually all of Japan is within range of the DPRK's missiles, and a 1998 test that sent one over Japan's main island deeply shocked the nation.

 

But the two sides made no significant breakthroughs on the DPRK's development of nuclear weapons. Officials said only that the discussions were "frank" and "meaningful."
