In fact, after Japan's export control measures, semiconductor prices in the world market soared, raising criticism that not only Korea but also Japan has an adverse impact on the global economy. Our government officials are now working on persuading US economic and trade personnel to do so in Washington.

Yoo Myung-hee, who arrived at Washington's Dulles Airport, said the atmosphere changed again when Kim Dae-jong, vice president of security secretary Kim Hyun-jong, visited Washington two weeks ago.

As the price of semiconductors skyrocketed due to Japan's export regulations, it is beginning to have a negative impact on the global economy.

[Yoo, Myeong-hee, Trade Commissioner: The difference between that time and now is that the price of semiconductors has risen by 23% over the past two weeks. I will try to explain to the related people through concrete materials and examples.]

Yoo said he plans to explain that Japan's unfair measures have a negative impact on the international economy, not just Korea.

He said he plans to meet with a variety of people from the US economy and trade.

The Yomiuri Tourist Office also leaves for Washington tomorrow (May 25).

A member of the parliament, which was packed to inform the international community about the unfairness of the Japanese economy, was packed in a bipartisan manner with a chairman of the Democratic Party.

Prior to attending the Korea - US summit on March 26, the council also plans to meet with the US Senate and House of Representatives members, as well as high - ranking officials from the State Department, to express opinions on Japan 's unjust actions.
