Japan, South Korea Reach Deal To Resolve "Comfort Women" Row

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA - DEC. 28: Japan and South Korea reached an agreement Monday to resolve the issue of women who were forced to work in Japan's wartime military brothels through creating a new fund, in a move that could finally put to rest a thorny dispute that has long hurt bilateral ties. The two Asian neighbors struck the deal to end their protracted dispute regarding so-called "comfort women" following talks between Kishida and his South Korean counterpart, Yun Byung Se, in Seoul. -- The Government of the Republic of Korea and the Government of Japan have intensively discussed the issue of comfort women between the ROK and Japan at bilateral meetings including the Director-General consultations.
