An official of the Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on the 10th, "In April of this year, following the Cabinet decision by the Japanese government to reduce the compulsoryness of the comfort women issue and the recruitment issue, the textbook recently It is very regrettable that the publisher applied for corrections such as deletion and change of related expressions, and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology approved this. "
The official said that "the compulsion of mobilization, recruitment and transfer of Japanese comfort women is an undeniable historical fact" and that "the vivid testimony of the victim itself proves the compulsion of comfort women mobilization by the Japanese army." It is stronger and clearer evidence than the document, and the international community has already made a clear judgment (of the compulsory mobilization of comfort women). "
"In the 1940s, many Koreans were mobilized against their will and forced to work under harsh conditions, which also led to Japan's own participation at the 39th World Heritage Committee in 2015. The historical facts that I admitted. "
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has approved the application of five textbook companies to remove or amend the terms "comfort women" and "forced entrainment" from textbooks. As a result, 64 related expressions in 29 textbooks were corrected.
As a result, the "comfort women" are replaced by the "comfort women." Amendments to such terms are interpreted as an intention not to explicitly state the responsibility for the involvement of the Japanese military. In addition, "forced entrainment" and "entrainment", which emphasize the compulsoryness of recruitment at the end of the war, are changed to "recruitment".
The Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also expressed regret to the Japanese government through its diplomatic channel.
