Japan should suspend remittances to North Korea as a strong warning to Pyongyang to not test-launch another ballistic missile, according to Shinzo Abe, a Lower House legislator of the Liberal Democratic Party.
"Although what we really need is a stick-and-carrot approach, our country currently does not have a (legal) means for sanctions against North Korea," said Abe, who is part of a seven-member suprapartisan group of lawmakers considering a diplomatic strategy against Pyongyang. "We should have measures that will enable us to demonstrate our readiness to implement sanctions if necessary."
