SEOUL: Japan and South Korea will hold a three-way meeting with the U.S. the coming week, Seoul said on Friday, in a get through after Washington advised the pair to fix badly tensed ties.
The meeting held in The Hague, on the sidelines of an international conference on nuclear program, will spot the first official talks between Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo and President Park Geun-Hye since they took workplace more than a year ago..
The talks are an important step forward after Park had constantly ruled out a meeting with Abe until Tokyo displays honest regret for “past wrongdoings”.
Relationship between Seoul and Tokyo are at the lowest for years, caught up in sensitive issues connected to Japan's 1910-45 colonial rules and in wartime in an island territorial dispute and use of women military brothels, and.
Recent surveys have exposed that the Japanese leader is more disliked with South Koreans than North Korean superlative Kim Jong-Un.
But predictions for a meeting between Park and Abe rose prior this month after the Japanese leader assured to honor Tokyo's two preceding apologies over its regal past, issued in 1993 and 1995.
South Korea has blamed Japan of showing inadequate regret for wartime abuses — especially the use of sex slaves which was named as “comfort women”.
Japanese politicians state frustration at the continual requests for repentance, pointing to many apologies as well as a 1965 agreement that standardized relations and included a big payment to Seoul.
The situation was worsen by Abe's stay to a contentious war shrine in December that drew protests from Beijing and Seoul, which also undergo during Japan's past colonial violence.
