Japan economy
Tokyo - Arab Today
Japan said on Friday that it had decided to temporarily recall its ambassador to South Korea to protest the placing of a statue symbolising victims of Japanese wartime sex slavery outside its consulate in the city of Busan last month.
Chief government spokesman Yoshihide Suga announced the move at a press conference along with additional measures that include suspending high-level economic discussions.
"The Japanese government finds this situation extremely regrettable," he said.
