SEOUL/TOKYO - South Korea and Japan traded fresh barbs on Monday, just days after agreeing to salvage an important intelligence-sharing pact, highlighting the fragile ties between the former wartime foes and allies of the United States.
Under pressure from Washington, South Korea made a last-minute decision on Friday to conditionally maintain the pact, known as GSOMIA, a dramatic about-face amid a months-long feud over history and trade. Officials at Seoul’s presidential Blue House said on Sunday they had lodged a protest and received an apology over the Japanese trade ministry’s announcement that it will continue enhanced screening on the exports of three core materials used in semiconductors, which they said was “completely different” to what was agreed.
Less than two hours later, Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga contradicted Yoon’s remarks, saying the export curbs were “completely unrelated to GSOMIA”. South Korean and Japanese trade authorities are expected to meet as early as this week to discuss the issue.
