The mother of an abducted South Korean man Tokyo believes to be Megumi Yokota's husband urged Pyongyang on Wednesday to send him home.

Choi Gye Wol, 82, also told a news conference she wants Seoul to try to arrange a meeting with her son, Kim Young Nam.

"Even if I don't know whether it will come true, I really want to live with him if (Pyongyang) sends him back," to South Korea, Choi said.
