(ANSA) - BEIJING, MARCH 06 - South Korea has announced it will halt its complaint to the World Trade Organization (WTO) against Japanese export limits, as Tokyo and Seoul have decided to start talks on their revocation.


    "The two governments have agreed to hold rapid bilateral consultations on export-related regulatory issues to return them to how they were before July 2019," the South Korean trade ministry said in a statement.

The turning point is linked to Seoul's plan to compensate South Korean workers forced to work for Japanese companies during the period of Japanese militarism.
