President Moon Moon's speech regarding issues such as "commission" Attention 6:15, August 15
In Korea, President Moon Jae-in will be giving a speech on the 15th, 75 years after he was released from Japanese colonial rule. As Japan-Korea relations worsen due to issues related to "commissioning" during the Pacific War, the focus is on what kind of message to send out.
In South Korea, August 15th, when the Korean Peninsula was released from Japanese colonial rule, is a holiday called "Gwanghwajeong," and President Moon Jae-in will speak at a ceremony held in Seoul from 10:00 am on the 15th. It's a schedule.
In a speech a year ago, President Moon said, "We would be happy to hold hands if Japan were on the path of dialogue and cooperation," and called for a resolution of the discussion.
However, between Japan and South Korea, due to the issue of "commissioning" during the Pacific War, a Korean court is expected to order the seizure of Japanese companies' assets and proceed to "cash".
It is feared that the Mun administration does not show the stance that the Japanese side accepts the acceptable solution because it respects the judicial decision, and that if the Japanese companies are actually harmed, the Japan-Korea relations may be undermined. I will.
In addition, the Moon administration has filed a lawsuit against the WTO (World Trade Organization) in response to the measures taken by the Japanese government to tighten export controls for South Korea, and that it can "repeat" the Japan-Korea Military Information Comprehensive Protection Agreement (GSOMIA) at any time. I haven't changed my position.
While Japan-Korea relations are said to be "worst after the war," the focus is on what message Moon will give in his speech on the 15th, when the remaining term of office is one year and nine months.
