As the relationship between Japan and South Korea cooled, South Korea's Ambassador to Japan Kang Chang-il gave a lecture for the first time at the general meeting of the Japan-Korea Parliamentary Union, which is made up of bipartisan parliamentarians, and showed his willingness to work on improving the relationship.
The Japan-Korea Parliamentary Union, which is made up of bipartisan parliamentarians, held a general meeting in the Diet on the morning of the 14th.
Former Finance Minister Fukushiro Nukaga of the Liberal Democratic Party, who serves as chairman, said, "Even if the historical views are different, the governments will work together, considering that Japan-South Korea relations are chilling due to issues such as the comfort women issue and the issue of" recruitment "during the Pacific War. Only then will the solution come out. Creating an environment for that is our greatest mission. "
After this, South Korean Ambassador to Japan Kang Chang-il, who arrived in January and officially started diplomatic activities last month, gave a lecture for the first time.
According to the attendees, Ambassador Kang said, "I was assigned as chairman of the Japan-Korea Parliamentary Union, and I interpreted it as a sign of President Moon Jae-in's determination to normalize bilateral relations. I want to work on it for the rest of my life. "
On the other hand, at the general meeting on the 14th, we will make adjustments to hold a meeting online with the Korea-Japan Parliamentary Union on the Korean side.
