A "wise" resolution is needed to address the issue of the foundation for Japan's wartime sex slavery victims in Korea, funded by the Japanese government.
That's according to Seoul's top diplomat Kang Kyung-wha, who discussed the issue with her Japanese counterpart on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
On Tuesday, President Moon Jae-in said the foundation is not functioning properly and is doomed to fail, while meeting with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
What Tokyo's foreign minister said about the foundation is unknown,... but the Japanese Embassy in South Korea said the two countries agreed that the issue of the foundation should not negatively affect bilateral relations.
