Family members of Japanese abducted by North Korea wound up a weeklong stay in New York on Friday saying they were pleased with the outcome of their efforts to obtain cooperation from the U.N. on the rescue of abduction victims.
Shigeo Iizuka, 68, one of the group members, described the trip as "a satisfactory visit" during a news conference at the headquarters of Japan's U.N. mission.
The group met envoys and senior diplomats from 13 countries, including U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton.
