Okay, here's the summary in the requested dialogue format!

**(Scene: Two friends, Hiroki (Japanese) and Emily (American), are chatting over coffee in Tokyo. It’s December 15th, 2025.)**

**Emily:** Hey Hiroki! Did you hear about the news today? Something about North Korea?

**Hiroki:** Oh, yeah! It was on the news. It was a symposium, right? About the abductees. Pretty sad stuff.

**Emily:** I read a little bit. It sounded really emotional. What was it about?

**Hiroki:** Basically, families of Japanese people who were taken by North Korea held a meeting with the government. They're asking for their loved ones to come home.

**Emily:** Wow, for how long have these people been missing?

**Hiroki:** Some have been gone for almost 50 years! Like, one man, Iizuka Koichiro, hasn't seen his mother since he was just a baby. He doesn’t even remember her!

**Emily:** That’s heartbreaking. Is there a group of families involved?

**Hiroki:** There is! Yokota Takuya, he leads a group. His sister, Megumi, was taken when she was 13. She just turned 61! It’s tough for them.

**Emily:** So they want the government to do something? What exactly?

**Hiroki:** They want the Japanese government to meet with Kim Jong Un, the leader of North Korea. They remember when five abductees came back in 2002, and they hope that could happen again.

**Emily:** That makes sense. Is there a lot of pressure on the government?

**Hiroki:** Totally. Megumi and Takuya’s mom, Sakie, is still alive, but she's 89 years old! They're worried about her health. They really want to see everyone returned before it’s too late.

**Emily:** Poor Sakie! What did the government say about it all?

**Hiroki:** The government official, Kihara Minoru, said it's a really important human rights issue. Prime Minister Takaichi is promising to deal with it directly and is looking for help from other countries too.

**Emily:** That’s good to hear. Hopefully, they can make some progress. It sounds like a really difficult situation.

**Hiroki:** Yeah, it is. They really want to resolve it, and Kihara seems very determined to be the one who finally brings them all home.



Hopefully, that gives you a friendly and clear summary! Let me know if you’d like anything changed or added.
