Material Technology: Korea and Shiga Prefecture

material technology: There would definitely be a chance to negotiate. ; Hasuike, one of five Japanese nationals Pyongyang allowed to return to Japan in October 2002 after negotiations led by then-Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, spent more than two decades living in North Korea, according to The Japan Times. Then a 20-year-old student, he along with his girlfriend, whom he later married in North Korea, were kidnapped from a beach in Niigata Prefecture on July 31, 1978, by agents working for the North. Under a monitoring system, Japan should provide material and technology, not cash financial assistance that won't further North Korea's missile development, in exchange for the abductees' return, Hasuike, 59, said in a speech in Kusatsu, Shiga Prefecture. The Japanese government still has 17 people on its official list of abductees. The abductees' families, however, have reached their limits mentally and in terms of age, Hasuike warned, urging the government to resolve the issue soon. On Japan's current tensions with the North, Hasuike said the time for dialogue will surely come in the not-so-distant future because the isolated nation will be in a deadlock after its Pacific hydrogen bomb threat.
