东京约800人集会要求朝鲜立即送还被绑架者：高市早苗称任期内求突破、愿与金正恩直接会谈
东京—要求朝鲜立即、一次性送还全部被绑架者的国民集会11月8日在东京举行，约800人参加，包括被绑架者家属与地方官员。日本首相高市早苗出席集会并致辞，表示在自己任期内打开局面、解决绑架问题的决心不变。
高市早苗说，她的内阁成立已满一年，被绑架者至今未能回家令她深感悲痛；在受害者与家属不断老去的情况下，这个问题必须立即解决。她表示，自己的使命要到家属能与亲人相拥的那一天才算结束，并再次表明愿以日本首相身份与朝鲜劳动党总书记金正恩坦诚会面、直接对话的想法，日方将以《日朝平壤宣言》为基础继续推动。
高市早苗还提到，她已再次得到美国总统特朗普的全力支持。日本政府9月在联合国大会上呼吁各国协助解决绑架问题，并寻求美方居中推动日朝对话。家属们在集会上强调时间紧迫：1977年在新潟市被绑架时年仅13岁的横田惠，是日本政府认定的被绑架者中最受关注的一人。
日本政府正式认定17名日本公民在上世纪七八十年代被朝鲜绑架，其中5人已于2002年时任首相小泉纯一郎与金正日举行首次日朝峰会后回国，其余人员的下落至今未明。日朝没有外交关系，绑架问题长期是两国关系中最敏感的议题之一。

Some 800 Rally in Tokyo Demanding North Korea Return All Abductees at Once: Takaichi Vows a Breakthrough in Her Term and Offers to Meet Kim Jong Un
TOKYO — A national rally demanding that North Korea return all Japanese abductees immediately and at once was held in Tokyo on November 8, drawing about 800 people, including abductees' family members and local officials. Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi attended and addressed the rally, saying her determination to break through and resolve the abduction issue during her term remains unchanged.
Takaichi said it had been a year since her cabinet was formed and that she was deeply saddened the abductees had still not come home; with victims and their families ageing, she said, the issue must be resolved without delay. Her mission, she said, will not end until families can embrace their loved ones, and she repeated her wish, as Japan's prime minister, to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un for frank, direct talks, with Japan continuing to work on the basis of the Japan-DPRK Pyongyang Declaration.
Takaichi also said she had once again received the full support of U.S. President Donald Trump. Japan appealed at the U.N. General Assembly in September for international help on the issue and has sought U.S. mediation toward Japan-North Korea dialogue. Families at the rally stressed the urgency of time: Megumi Yokota, abducted in Niigata City in 1977 at the age of 13, is among the most closely watched of the people Japan recognises as abductees.
Japan officially lists 17 nationals as having been abducted by North Korea in the 1970s and 1980s. Five returned in 2002 after then prime minister Junichiro Koizumi met Kim Jong-il in Pyongyang in the first Japan-North Korea summit; the fate of the others remains unknown. Japan and North Korea have no diplomatic relations, and the abduction issue has long been among the most sensitive questions between them.
