N. Korea envoy says no plans to meet Japan lawmaker in Mongolia - The Mainichi Daily News: "ULAN BATOR (Kyodo) -- A senior North Korean official in charge of Japanese affairs arrived in Mongolia on Friday and said he has no plans to hold talks here with Hiroshi Nakai, a former Japanese state minister in charge of the issue of Pyongyang's abductions of Japanese nationals.
A Mongolian government source told Kyodo News that Nakai will not travel to Ulan Bator as rumored, and that North Korea's Song Il Ho plans to meet with another Japanese person, fueling speculation a government official who attended previous Nakai-Song meetings may meet Song on Nakai's behalf.
Song, ambassador for normalization talks with Japan, told reporters at Ulan Bator airport he is visiting Mongolia to "handle duties at the (North Korean) embassy and work on bilateral relations.""
