New Korean Ambassador to Japan arrives in Tokyo, Friday. Yonhap
New South Korean Ambassador to Japan Kang Chang-il said Friday that Seoul has a firm will to normalize relations with Tokyo, as he departed for the country amid a protracted row over wartime history and trade. The Moon government has a firm will to normalize relations between South Korea and Japan, and the president also expressed the will during a New Year s press conference, he told reporters at Incheon International Airport, west of Seoul. I plan to relay this message to the Japanese side, he added.
Noting long-running historical spats between the two countries, Kang said his heart is a little heavy.
