It would be hard for Kim Dae Jung, South Korea’s president, not to have had mixed feelings about his visit to Japan this week. More than two decades have passed since Mr. Kim, then an opposition leader, was abducted from an hotel in Tokyo and nearly killed by his country s secret agents. But now Mr. Kim was visiting Tokyo as head of state with a mission of his own. He wants to build a solid economic and security alliance with the former coloniser that ruled Korea for 36 years until 1945.
On October 8th, Mr. Kim appeared relieved after talks with Keizo Obuchi, the Japanese prime minister, who not only offered his country’s ’’deep remorse and heartfelt apology" for Japan’s colonial rule, but also offered to lend South Korea $3 billion, in addition to $ 1 billion already committed. But several thorny issues will have to be resolved before the two countries can become friends.
Many South Koreans continue to demand that the Japanese government should pay compensation to about 150 surviving Korean ’’comfort women" forced into sexual slavery in Japanese army brothels(妓院)between 1932 and 1945. Historians reckon some 200 000 women, mostly from Korea, were involved. Japanese officials argue that the $ 500m paid to the South Korean government in 1965, when the two countries normalised diplomatic relations, extinguishes all compensation claims. Koreans who fought in the Second World War and are still living in Japan also want compensation, as many are not eligible for Japanese pensions. Hundreds of thousands of Koreans were sent as forced labour to Japan in that war, or conscripted to fight alongside Japanese soldiers.
Another contentious issue is a revised fisheries agreement. Only days before Mr. Kim’s visit, South Korea and Japan struck a deal to end a dispute over fishing rights. The eastern limit for South Korean fishing boats was drawn at 135. 5 degrees. The two countries also created a joint fishing zone between their exclusive fishing areas, but fishermen in both countries are still not satisfied, and complain that they have only limited access to an area of abundant squid. Nor is there any agreement over who has sovereignty over Tokdo, a small island in the East Sea. This dispute has long been a dormant volcano, (371 words) [br] Which number was the first compensation paid to Korea?
