Japanese Government: Korean Government and Japanese Deputy

japanese government: In Tokyo on Friday, after reports of the foundation's formal dissolution, Japanese Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Yasutoshi Nishimura said Japan can never accept the decision, according to Asahi Shimbun. The Japanese government separately repeated its call to the South Korean government through a diplomatic channel to implement the agreement. After deciding in November to dissolve the Reconciliation and Healing Foundation, the South Korean government took procedural steps toward the dissolution without consent from the Japanese government. Under the agreement reached in December 2015 to finally and irreversibly settle the comfort women issue, Japan provided 1 billion yen 9.27 million to the foundation to help former comfort women and their families. The administration of President Moon Jae In proceeded to dissolve the foundation. But the deal, struck under the previous administration of President Park Geun Hye, proved unpopular in South Korea, in part because many thought it had failed to reflect the opinions of surviving victims.
