"Meeting for the first time in 4 months" Foreign Ministers of Japan and South Korea, historical issues "remain parallel"

While the Japanese and Korean Foreign Ministers discussed major issues for the first time in four months, there was no discussion on historical issues such as the former comfort women.

According to the Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the 24th, South Korean Foreign Minister Chung Eui-yong will be visiting New York, the United States for the UN General Assembly from 10 am (local time) on the 23rd. For 50 minutes, held a Japan-Korea Foreign Ministers' Meeting with Foreign Minister Mogi. It is the first time in four months since the meeting was held in May at the G7 Foreign Ministers' Meeting in London.

The Korean media "Edaily" quoted the announcement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the 24th, and reported that "we deeply exchanged opinions on measures for solving the concerns of Japan and South Korea and developing future-oriented relations."

"But the two countries have only reaffirmed the existing competition against the former recruitment workers, the former comfort women issue, and Japan's export restrictions," the media said.
