Christopher R. Hill, Assistant Secretary for East Asian and Pacific Affairs

QUESTION: My friend from the Chinese diplomats, he just mentioned some dissatisfaction
over the Japanese Government, you know, insisting on something on the abductees issues.
They just always complain that that's an obstacle for the further progress on the Six
-Party Talks. So I see some gaps in the perception between Japan and other countries.
So how can you just persuade the Japanese Government?
ASSISTANT SECRETARY HILL: Well, you know, I don't know who your friends are in the
Chinese Foreign Ministry, but the Chinese Foreign Ministry people I talked to
understand that this is a big issue for Japan, and the Japanese Government cannot
ignore this issue. So I think the Chinese try to look at these problems with a sense
of realism, and the reality is it's an issue. So we'll see what we can do.
