SEOUL -- South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol has pledged to resolve the issue of former requisitioned workers from the Korean Peninsula and restart mutual visits with Japan.
Yoon made his pledges at the risk of receiving criticism from the South Korean public because he believes that strengthening security, economic and other cooperation with Japan will directly serve his country's national interest.
According to the Yonhap news agency, Yoon emphasized at a State Council meeting Tuesday that he was merely doing what he said he would do.
