The day when Japan is expected to subtract our country from the "white list" of exports favored countries, came one day ahead. It is noteworthy that Japan and Korea will meet for the first time since the Japanese provocation in Thailand today.

The ASEAN Regional Forum and ARF Talks will be held at 10:40 am at the Centara Grand Hotel in Bangkok.

Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-hwa and Foreign Minister Konodaro who arrived in Bangkok yesterday in turn will meet for the first time after Japan's unilateral export control measures are implemented.

Kang said he would strongly convey his position to the Foreign Minister.

[Kang Kyung-Hwa / Minister of Foreign Affairs: Clearly point out that the regulatory measures are unfair, and it is clear that such measures should be stopped. It is necessary to clearly communicate the foreign ministers and the international community attending the ARF as well as Japan.]

However, he said that there is a willingness to resolve the conflict through negotiations, saying that the collapse of the bilateral relations should never come.

However, it is unclear whether the Abe government will make a dramatic breakthrough in the talks today, as it is likely that tomorrow's ministers will try to exclude Korea from the so-called "whitelist".

Following the bilateral talks between Korea and Japan, tomorrow is expected to hold talks with foreign ministers from three countries.

Secretary of State Pompeii, who arrived in Bangkok at dawn today, said he would encourage them to look for a way forward as they ask about the Korea-Japan conflict mediation plan.

It is expected that the third trilateral meeting between Korea and the United States will be the true turning point of this incident, as it is an expression of the intervention that has already been announced, rather than the involvement.
