Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-hwa said that while a South Korean court ordered the Japanese government to compensate for the comfort women issue, the Japanese government urged the Korean government to take appropriate measures. On the 1st, I met with one of the former comfort women.

Foreign Minister Kang only told reporters, "I came to see you personally."

Regarding the comfort women issue, a district court in Seoul, South Korea last month confirmed a ruling ordering the Japanese government to compensate 12 former comfort women.



The Government of Japan urges the Government of South Korea to take appropriate measures, saying that it is extremely regrettable because it clearly violates international law.



Under these circumstances, South Korean Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-hwa visited the home of Park Pil-gun, one of the former comfort women living in Pohang, South Korea, for about 30 minutes before retiring soon. I met you.



Regarding the purpose, Foreign Minister Kang only told reporters that he had come to see him personally, and the Korean Foreign Ministry did not disclose detailed exchanges, saying that it had nothing to do with the recent situation.



However, President Moon Jae-in emphasized at a press conference on the 18th of last month that he would "consult with Japan to find a solution that the victims could agree on," and the Korean government said By listening directly to the comfort women, there seems to be a desire to impress the attitude of seeking solutions.
