Japan should take a ‘more humble’ attitude: S. Korea’s Moon

SEOUL, Jan 10, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Japan should take a “more humble” attitude
towards the past, South Korean President Moon Jae-in said Thursday, with
relations between the two US allies and capitalist democracies long strained
by disputes over history and territory.

The issues largely stem from Japan’s brutal 1910-1945 colonial rule over
the Korean peninsula and Moon told reporters: “I think the Japanese
government should take a more humble attitude… but the Japanese politicians
are politicising the issue.”
