TOKYO: Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe met with a senior South Korean envoy, as the two countries try to lower tensions over Tokyo’s wartime use of “comfort women”.
The special envoy dispatched by South Korea’s new President Moon Jae-in said in Tokyo that Seoul wants regular summits and improved relations, which have been hindered by the memory of Japan’s harsh colonial rule of the Korean peninsula from 1910-1945.
