Govt. calls for junior doctors who left worksites to return to hospitals by Monday
The National Assembly on Monday adopted a resolution condemning Japan’s recent moves to glorify its militaristic past amid strong backlash in Seoul.
The resolution passed a full Assembly session with near unanimous support. Out of a total of 239 lawmakers in attendance, 238 voted in favor of the resolution, while one abstained.
“(The Japanese Cabinet’s) irrational and rash acts and words are a diplomatic provocation with serious negative consequences for future-oriented ties between South Korea and Japan and the establishment of peace in Northeast Asia,” the resolution said.
It also called on “responsible” Japanese figures to stop paying their respects to war criminals and stop making “absurd” statements that “deny a past that cannot be denied.” (Yonhap News)
