The Korean government is also discussing today's amendment to the import and export system, which excludes Japan from export preferential countries.

An official from the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy said a meeting on Japan's export control response meeting will be discussed today.

The Korean government has been categorizing Japan as an export preferential country, and has been providing the benefit of guaranteeing export for a period of time through the first screening.

The government plans to announce a revision plan for importing and exporting strategic goods in response to Japan tomorrow or early next week.
