韓日 국장급 협의 韓 "한국 수산물 차별 안돼"

Seoul's Director-General for Asian and Pacific Affairs Kim Jung-han met with his Japanese counterpart for the first time on Wednesday.
The meeting held in Tokyo was a regular one, through which the two sides sought to continue communication amid frosty ties. The bureau was newly organized at Seoul's foreign ministry last month.
According to the ministry of foreign affairs, Kim told Kenji Kanasugi how Japan's announcement in late May to tighten checks on South Korean fishery products.... should not be a retaliation against Seoul's ban on fishery products from regions around Japan's Fukushima.
The two also discussed South Korea's Supreme Court's order for Japanese firms to compensate South Koreans forced into hard labor before and during World War Two.
Reportedly, Kanasugi again asked Seoul to take the matter to an arbitration by a third nation.
South Korea is yet to respond.
