Amid souring bilateral ties,... South Korea and Japan will hold their first vice ministerial-level
talks in eight months... later this Wednesday. Japanese Vice Foreign Minister Akitaka Saiki
and his South Korean counterpart Cho Tae-yong will meet in Seoul... to discuss a range of
issues including Korea-Japan relations and North Korean threats.
Seoul's Foreign Ministry said... the meeting should not be viewed as a sign of thawing
relations, as Japan has not yet taken the necessary steps that would make that possible.
Tokyo has yet to officially apologize for its wartime *** enslavement of roughly
200-thousand women in the early 20th century.
