SEOUL - A senior U.S. diplomat met officials in Seoul on Wednesday amid a worsening political and economic dispute between allies South Korea and Japan as South Korea vowed to unveil plans soon to cut dependence on Japanese industries.
Asked on Wednesday if the United States would play a role in resolving the disagreement, Stilwell did not respond directly, but said he would “engage in all issues that are related to South Korea and the United States,” the Yonhap news agency said. On Wednesday South Korean Finance Minister Hong Nam-ki repeated his call for Tokyo to end the curbs, while adding that South Korea wanted to make its supply chain more independent.
On Wednesday a Japanese government spokesman urged Seoul to take “appropriate steps” to resolve the labor issue, which was reignited by a South Korean court ruling late last year that ordered Japanese companies to pay compensation. The Japanese government has said it did not make any accusation about materials going to North Korea but South Korean President Moon Jae-in called the reported accusation a “grave challenge”.
