Chief Japan, N. Korea negotiators may meet again Mon.+

(Japan Economic Newswire Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)TOKYO, April 9_(Kyodo) _ Japan and North Korea may meet again in Tokyo, possibly Monday, to discuss the North's abductions of Japanese citizens and the suspended six-nation nuclear talks, Foreign Minister Taro Aso suggested Sunday.



Kenichi Sasae, chief of the Japanese Foreign Ministry's Asian and Oceanian Affairs Bureau, met Saturday with North Korean Vice Foreign Minister Kim Kye Gwan, who is visiting Japan to attend an academic meeting.

"We'll continue talks," Aso said on an NHK TV program.


A senior ministry official said the bilateral meeting could come Monday.

Aso also referred to the possibility of direct talks between North Korea and the United States in Tokyo, saying, "There might be a scene of direct meeting."

U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs Christopher Hill will arrive in Japan on Monday for the academic meeting -- the 17th Northeast Asia Cooperation Dialogue, sponsored by the University of California Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation.

A U.S. State Department spokesman earlier said there were no plans for Hill to meet with Kim in Tokyo.
