SEOUL -- South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol in an interview published Monday expressed his willingness to seek an early resolution with Japan of the issue of former wartime requisitioned workers.
"We will resolve the issue by listening to opinions from all quarters. I see the situation positively," Yoon said in an interview with South Korean newspaper Chosun Ilbo.
"Japan maintains its hardline stance on the issue, but seems to believe that it will be possible to resolve the matter as long as the liquidation of Japanese corporate assets in regard to wartime requisitioned workers is sorted out," Yoon said.
