North seeks Comfort Women compensation in Japan talks

While Japan pushes for abductions issue resolution Pyongyang seeks compensation of its own

North Korean officials have reiterated their demand for compensation for Japanese use of Korean “Comfort Women” during World War II.

In addition to North Korea’s continued pursuit of reparations for Korean women taken as sex slaves by the Imperial Japanese Army in WWII, this month’s talks will also address the DPRK’s nuclear program and Japanese citizens abducted by the DPRK in the 1970s and ’80s.
