The move comes amid a deepening diplomatic row between the two countries over the contentious issue, which Japan argues has already been resolved
South Korea’s government has formed an inter-agency task force to look into Supreme Court rulings on Japanese wartime forced labour issues, a Foreign Ministry official said on Tuesday.
The move comes amid a diplomatic row with Japan over the rulings.
The task force, which includes the foreign, justice and interior ministries, will scrutinise legal issues related to the rulings while also taking into account South Korean public opinion and the country’s ties with Japan, the official told reporters on condition of anonymity and without elaborating.
