South Korean President Moon Jae-in calls for talks to end trade row with Japan KoreaJapanRelations
SEOUL - South Korean President Moon Jae-in on Thursday offered an olive branch to Japan to end a tense trade dispute, saying that Seoul will"gladly join hands" if Tokyo to accepts calls to resolve it through dialogue.
Tens of thousands of South Koreans are expected to march in anti-Japan protests planned throughout Thursday. After threatening stern counter-measures and declaring that South Korea would"never lose" to Japan again, Mr Moon took a more conciliatory tone over the past week amid relief in Seoul that the impact of Japan's trade measures may not be as bad as initially thought.
He continued:"If Japan, better late than never, chooses the path of dialogue and cooperation, we will gladly join hands."
