Working closely with Japanese Parliamentarians

Posted On 2008年11月18日火曜日 at 時刻: 14:37 by RescueAbductees  


League of Parliamentarians for Early Repatriation of Japanese Citizens was officially formed in April 2002. Former defense minister Shigeru Ishiba (current farm minister) headed the league at the time. This bipartisan group includes 203 parliamentarians from both Houses of the Representatives and the Councilors.

Regular meetings with members of the Family Association and Rescue Abroad and the League of Parliamentarians take place and lines of communication are open among the organizations. We frequently coordinate nationwide campaigns and international visits with the diet members.

The members of the league call for tougher measures, including economic sanctions, against North Korea.
