SAIPAN, CNMI (Saipan Tribune, June 22) – The Japanese imperial couple must apologize to Koreans and other nationalities that suffered under the country s aggression during World War II and, instead of honoring only their war dead at Banzai Cliff, should also pay their respects at the Korean Peace Memorial in Marpi.
This was the concern raised by the Korean Association of Saipan during a meeting with Japanese consul Takeo Saito on Monday at the Japanese Consulate in Puerto Rico, according to a statement by the association.
