The family of Kim Young Nam, the South Korean believed kidnapped by North Korea and married to abductee Megumi Yokota, has proposed holding a meeting between him, the couple's daughter and Yokota's parents, either in South Korea or a third country, Yokota's father said Saturday.
Shigeru Yokota, 73, whose daughter was abducted in 1977 at age 13, said he received the proposal in late last month via the Japanese government.
The government was contacted by Choi Song Yong, head of a group of families of South Koreans abducted to North Korea. Yokota said he has not replied to the proposal.
