		Yamasaki, who began his visit to Pyongyang on Tuesday, told Kyodo News in an interview that he had so far met with Song Il-ho, North Korea's ambassador in charge of diplomatic normalization talks with Japan, and other officials of the government and the ruling Workers' Party of Korea.
		Yamasaki's trip comes at a time when Japan-North Korea relations have deadlocked due to last year's missile launchings and nuclear test by North Korea, as well as the countries' dispute over the abduction of Japanese nationals by North Korean agents in the 1970s and 1980s.
		Yamasaki is scheduled to leave Pyongyang on Saturday, and is to hold a press conference in Beijing before flying back to Tokyo on the same day.

		Yamasaki said he would leave the Watanabe faction and form his own faction when his proposal was rejected.

		Yamasaki is visiting Pyongyang apparently in hopes of breaking the deadlock in Japan-North Korea relations over Pyongyang's nuclear test and past abduction of Japanese nationals.
		Yamasaki's Pyongyang visit is reminiscent of a trip there by a high-powered joint delegation of the LDP and the now-defunct Japan Socialist Party (JSP) in September 1990.
		Yamasaki set out on a Pyongyang trip even without knowing whom he would be able to meet in the North Korean capital.
