Japan to lift some sanctions on N.Korea - Kyodo
Japan will lift some of its sanctions on North Korea, Kyodo news agency reported, adding that Pyongyang had agreed to reinvestigate the fate of Japanese citizens abducted decades ago by North Korean agents.
North Korea admitted in 2002 that its agents had abducted 13 Japanese in the 1970s and 1980s. Five of them were repatriated that year, but Pyongyang has said the other eight are dead.
Tokyo first imposed sanctions in October 2006 after North Korea carried out a nuclear test and test-launched ballistic missiles.
