"Recruitment" Problem Japanese Government "Resolution by Korean Government" December 19th 4:55

On the 18th of the Korean National Assembly, a bill was submitted with the aim of solving the problem of “recruitment”. However, as the Korean government's position on the bill has not been clarified, the Japanese government intends to show solutions that the Japanese side can accept at the responsibility of the Korean government.

With regard to Japan-Korea relations, the Korean government decided to maintain the Japan-Korea Military Information Comprehensive Protection Agreement (GSOMIA) last month, and a summit meeting between Prime Minister Abe and President Moon Jae-in will be held next week on 24 .

On this day, on the 18th, regarding the issue of “recruitment” during the Pacific War, Chairman Moon Hysan of the Korean National Assembly submitted a bill to the National Assembly that was originally compiled with the aim of solving it.

The bill calls for donations from companies in both Japan and South Korea to set up a foundation, and the Korean government also says that the Korean government will contribute operating expenses. Donations to the foundation are "not mandatory".

A foreign ministry executive said on the night of the 18th, “It's important not to impose a financial burden on Japanese companies, and there is a desire to correct the violation of international law.”

However, the position of the Moon Jae-in administration's bill has not been made clear and it is necessary to carefully determine the status of deliberation. The Japanese government will continue to communicate with the diplomatic authorities. The policy is to ask the Japanese side to show acceptable solutions.
