Shigeru Yokota, whose daughter was abducted to North Korea in 1977, and the mother of South Korean abductee Kim Young Nam -- believed to be Megumi Yokota's husband -- pledged Tuesday to work together for the repatriation of their children.

Yokota, 73, met with Choi Gye Wol, 78, in Seoul.

Choi burst into tears when Yokota approached and told her he does not feel it was the first time for them to meet.
