Japan - July 16th, 2014

The South Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs is afraid of Japan’s re-examination of the 1993 Kono statement, which apologizes to wartime comfort women who were forced to provide sex to Japanese troops during World War II. If the Japanese government makes an announcement that questions the statement, the South Korean government will counter by showing historical documents. http://ajw.asahi.com/article/asia/korean_peninsula/AJ201406160031
