South Korea is on track towards removing Japan from its "whitelist" of preferred trading partners.
According to the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy,... the government plans to implement a change to the nation's export control system that entails dropping Tokyo to the newly established A-2 group this month.
The ministry says it will complete its 20-day-long public opinion gathering process on Tuesday,... a necessary step before it can make a public announcement of the revision.
While it did not disclose the number of people who participated in this process,... the related posting on the ministry's website received over 2-thousand views.
