"United Nations symposium live broadcast.
On Tuesday, June 29, the United Nations Symposium on the Abduction Issue will be held online,
co-sponsored by the Governments of Japan, the United States, Australia and the EU. Japan, the
United States, the Australian Government and the EU will hold an online symposium as a side
event of the United Nations with the participation of representatives of UN member states under
the theme of "international cooperation to resolve the abduction issue as a global issue". It will
be held. At this symposium, we will listen to the complaints of the "live voice" of victims' families
in Japan and other countries, and invite North Korean experts from each country to discuss ways
to resolve the abduction issue. I will do it. The symposium will be broadcast live on the United
Nations Web TV (English) and the official video channel of the YouTube Abduction Issue
Countermeasures Headquarters (Japanese), so please watch it.

the past, but not today.
Voice of Freedom, 6045, at 1100 UT, on June 14; covered by the usual super jamming from N. Korea;
super jamming also back on 6135 (nothing there to be jammed!); while VOF's ex: 5920 had no jamming,
but strong OTH radar. We can only hope they will soon return to 5920, where they normally have good
reception free of jamming and not often OTHR.
