Japan lost track of key North Korean liaison officer several years ago
A secret North Korean negotiator with Japan, who had been directly connected to the leadership in Pyongyang and who was behind major bilateral developments over the past two decades, lost contact with Tokyo several years ago, sources familiar with the matter said Wednesday.
The liaison, known as Mr. Y among the Japanese intelligence community, had told his contacts in Tokyo that he had fallen ill. Several Japanese government sources said Japan and North Korea have lost a behind-the-scenes negotiation channel.
Japan and North Korea do not have diplomatic relations and efforts to normalize ties have been strained by Pyongyang s past abductions of Japanese nationals as well as its nuclear and missile programs.
