김승호 실장, 일본규제 관련 "편한 날짜에 WTO 제소, 칼 갈고 있겠다"
South Korea's deputy trade minister Kim Seung-ho has, once again, called on Tokyo to lift its export curbs on Seoul,... saying they are outdated measures.
Here's him speaking to reporters as he returns to Seoul from the WTO General Council meeting in Geneva.
"Japan's export restrictions are anachronistic and are out of line with the principles of interdependence and mutual cooperation in the international community. For its own sake and that of the globe's, Japan should behave responsibly as the G20 chair by retracting its export curbs at the earliest date."
The South Korean trade official added that Japan is trying to exploit South Korea's vulnerability,... with semiconductors taking up a quarter of Korea's exports.
Expressing deep regret over Japan's refusal to sit down for talks,... Kim said,... South Korea will do its best to prepare against Japan's economic retaliation.
