I am worried that continuing the abduction talks is just like repeating the same things.

I had thought that North Korea might compromise even a bit in order to speed up talks on normalization of diplomatic ties, but as always our message fell on deaf ears.

I hope the whole world will think about the abduction issue through my talk.

It is important that things are being resolved step by step. I hope the abduction issue will continue to move forward.

I survived this hardship for 20 years until I found out she had been abducted by North Korea.

I felt like throwing up when I read that part.

I was impressed that they seriously listened to each of our comments.
