Japan and South Korea are getting closer to resolving a major sticking point in their relations, boosting U.S. efforts to get its top Asian allies to cooperate more
Japan and South Korea are near an agreement to compensate Koreans forced to work in Japan during World War II, officials said, boosting U.S. efforts to foster cooperation between its allies to counter China and North Korea.
Seoul is set to release a plan as early as Monday for a South Korean fund to pay plaintiffs who have won court cases against Japanese companies over forced labor, the officials said. South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol may later visit Tokyo, they said, although they cautioned that the talks aren’t finished and may still break down.
