President Moon Jae-in announced that he will discuss with the Japanese side to find a solution that the grandmothers of the victims can agree on based on the 2015 Korea-Japan Comfort Agreement.
Akiko Horiyama Japan at the New Years press conference held at the Blue House on the morning of the 18th <마이니치신문> The journalist asked how the Korean government would create a consensus (agreement) for the victims regarding solving the problem of the past history of Korea and Japan.
Reporter Horiyama cited a case in which the Japanese prime minister’s letter of apology was delivered to comfort women victims during past Kono talks, and asked, “Do you think the president still believes that the efforts of diplomatic agreements between the governments of Korea, the United States, and Japan are they still valid? “
Reporter Horiyama added: “Even if the Japanese government apologizes or does something humanitarian, some of the victims will accept it and others will oppose it.” “No one opposes the principle of victimhood (of the Korean government), but consensus” I am curious about how to create a consensus for the victims, although diplomatic agreement is only possible when there is presence.
This is interpreted as a question pointing to the fact that the two governments agreed at the time of the 2015 Korea-Japan Comfort Agreement, but the Moon Jae-in administration was “ indeed destroyed ” because the victims were excluded.
“It is not wise to link all the issues and stop cooperation in other fields.”
In response, President Moon Jae-in said: “The Korean government recognizes that the agreement was an official agreement between the two governments.” “The two governments agreed on how the plaintiffs (grandmothers) can agree and persuaded the plaintiffs as much as possible with the plan. “We believe that we can do it and solve the problem step by step in this way.”
President Moon also said, “The two countries are having a diplomatic resolution of the issues that need to be resolved between Korea and Japan, such as the issue of export restrictions and the issue of compulsory conscripts,” he said. “During such efforts, the comfort women judgment issue was added, so honestly a little bit It’s true that it’s embarrassing.”
However, President Moon emphasized, “The past is the past, and I believe that the future-oriented development between Korea and Japan is that we have to do it.”
He further said: “Until these problems are solved by linking all the problems, cooperation in other fields stops, or this attitude is never a smart way.” It appears to refer to the Japanese government’s application of export control measures the following year in response to the decision to conscript military service in 2018.
President Moon also said, “I do not think it is desirable that relations between Korea and Japan be monetized by the method of execution or the way the sentence is carried out. Said.
