Japan's formal apology for its past wrongs urged in S. Korea
KCNA
Pyongyang, February 21 (KCNM) -- Members of the South Korean council for the solution of the issue of the volunteers corps reportedly staged the Wednesday demonstration in front of the Japanese embassy in Seoul on February 12.
Three female members of the house of councillors of Japan joined in the demonstration.
Demonstrators released a statement saying that the Koreans are opposed to Japanese Prime Minister Koizumi's South Korea visit without making an apology for Japan's past crimes.
Tomiko Okazaki, a dietwoman from the Democratic Party of Japan, said though the Japanese Government claims that Japan apologized for the issue of the "comfort women" for the Japanese army, this cannot be regarded as a formal apology. A formal apology should be made by the government, she urged.
