Japan won support from other members of the Group of Seven industrialized nations to work together toward addressing the issue of North Korea's past abductions of Japanese nationals, the Foreign Ministry said Saturday.

During a session of the three-day summit to end Sunday, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga said the abduction issue is a top priority for his government and called for "full understanding and cooperation" on the matter, to which his G-7 counterparts agreed, the ministry said in a press release.

Suga also expressed support for U.S. policy on North Korea, which the administration of President Joe Biden has come up with following its months-long review.
