The Japanese government expressed concern about the disposal of Japanese corporate assets in Korea.

[Sugaya Yoshihide / Chief Cabinet Secretary (Yesterday): We are concerned that the move to cash in Japanese corporate assets will continue. There is no change in the position of demanding a response to the Korean government.]

It is expected that the retaliatory measures to reinforce the retaliatory export regulation on Korea are not related to the compulsory compensation award.

However, as Foreign Minister Kono said on May 19, additional economic retaliatory measures are likely to be taken.

It is expected to go into effect in the next month after the government decision is passed immediately after the opinion gathering procedure in Japan announced until 24th is over.
