This time is a Japanese reaction. Abe has argued that the response continues to undermine trust among the nations, and the ministers reacted in unison.

Japanese Prime Minister Abe reiterated his claim that South Korea is violating the Japan-Japan billing agreement yesterday (May 23), when he met with reporters before leaving for France to attend seven major summits.

[Abe / Japan Prime Minister: We are unfortunately continuing to undermine the relationship between the nation and its trust. (Korea) I want to keep my promise first.]

Repeating the same arguments as last month's export restrictions, the government continued to sell off its promises and keep its trust.

The Secretary of State, Iwaya's Defense Minister, said he would demand reconsideration of the agreement, citing the importance of Korea-Japan-ROK cooperation, despite being disappointed.

The Seko Economic and Industry Award says it will implement its export control policy solemnly.

As of the 28th, scheduled measures will be taken to exclude Korea from the white nation.

The two countries are not closing the dialogue, but for the time being it is not easy.

Observations have been made that the momentum of the reversal may come from the movements of neighboring countries rather than from inside and from the United States' importance on the alliance.
