Japan-Korea Foreign Ministers' Meeting “Recruitment” Issues on Export Control Discussion 21:06 on August 21
As Japan-Korea relations worsen, Foreign Minister Kono will visit a foreign minister meeting with South Korea on the 21st in China, calling for a prompt response to the issue of “recruitment”, and Japan's exports rebounded by South Korea. Management is expected to be discussed.
Foreign Minister Kono will meet with foreign minister Kang Kyung-hwa (Korea Kang) in Korea on the afternoon of the 21st, since the first day of this month.
Mr. Kono said at the meeting on the night of the 20th and 21st that he would like to exchange opinions so that the Korean side could firmly respond to the issue related to “recruitment” during the Pacific War, and promptly correct the situation of violation of international law. I showed the idea to ask again and again.
The meeting will be held for the first time since the Japanese government decided to exclude South Korea from the preferential countries for export control, so it is expected that discussions will be held regarding export control as the Korean side rebounds.
In addition, an opinion requesting the cancellation of the agreement “GSOMIA” for sharing and protecting confidential information on security between Japan and South Korea, which will expire on the 24th of this month, comes from Korea and North Korea. There is also a possibility that discussions will take place.
On the other hand, prior to this meeting, Minister Kono attended the three-party foreign ministers meeting in the morning with the foreign minister Wang Yi and the foreign minister Kang of Korea for the first time in three years. In addition to proceeding with adjustments to be held within the year, North Korea will continue to launch short-range ballistic missiles and other measures, and is expected to discuss measures to achieve denuclearization.
