PM Suga upholds Japan s apologies for wartime aggression, comfort women
The Japanese government said Friday that Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga stands by statements by past administrations apologizing for Japan s aggression in World War II and admitting the military had a role in coercing comfort women to work in brothels.
The confirmation that Japan s stance remains unchanged under the current premier Suga, who took office last September, comes amid lingering tensions with neighboring countries including South Korea and China over wartime history.
