Japan to Raise Missile Issue at Talks With N. Korea
Japan plans to raise the missile issue during talks with North Korea in Beijing, China this weekend. While the main agenda of the contact surrounds Pyongyang's abductions of Japanese citizens back in the 1970s and 1980s, Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi says his government will also address the missile concern at the upcoming meeting. Such intentions come in light of recent reports implying that North Korea is poised to test-fire a ballistic missile.
