federation: Park welcomed the move, saying she hopes for progress, according to The Japan Times. Earlier on Monday, representatives from Keidanren and the Federation of Korean Industries met in Seoul, where they pledged stronger cooperation in markets overseas and to share know-how on planning for and responding to disasters such as earthquakes. At a meeting at the presidential office in Seoul, Sadayuki Sakakibara, chairman of the Japan Business Federation, better known as Keidanren, told Park that the federation plans to promote cooperation between Japan and South Korea in developing markets in other countries. Sakakibara told reporters that regular bilateral meetings have helped to pave the way for a solution to a long-standing problem, a reference to former comfort women in South Korea, who were forced to serve as prostitutes for Japanese troops before and during World War II. He said Japan-South Korea relations are steadily moving forward, adding that business circles are ready to boost momentum. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
