TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan extended sanctions against North Korea on Tuesday, saying it needed to keep pressure on the reclusive communist state to resolve a feud over Japanese nationals abducted decades ago.
The Japanese cabinet endorsed the extension for six months from Sunday of the sanctions, which ban North Korean imports and bar North Koreans ships from calling at Japanese ports. http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUST25048020071009?sp=true
