That would seem to be the implication from this on a proposed payment to North Korea
Nikkei report:
- Eager to bring closure to decades-old abductions of its citizens by North Korea, the Japanese government is seeking ways to talk directly with Pyongyang
- Tokyo ... economic aid, which it promised at a landmark summit back in 2002 to give North Korea once diplomatic relations were normalized
- A proposal being weighed at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs puts the figure at $10 billion.
Yep, 10bn USD for returning abductees

Nikkei might be gated
I vote he buys 10 bn USD/JPY at 6am Sydney time on a Monday. LOL ;-)
