South Korea’s Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha says the country’s government will not renegotiate its 2015 agreement with Japan on those referred to as comfort women.
Last month, a South Korean government task force concluded that the deal to finally and irreversibly resolve the issue does not sufficiently take into account the views of surviving victims. President Moon Jae-in described the deal as flawed and incapable of resolving the matter. Kang said on Tuesday that it is undeniable that the 2 countries’ governments formally reached the agreement, and that it will not be renegotiated.
