Korean and Japanese Parliament Group Comes Up with Diplomatic Idea that Will Likely Go No Where

This plan does not solve the heart of the problem which is South Korea trying to confiscate Japanese property in South Korea which Tokyo believes is in violation of the 1965 treaty that normalized relations between the two countries:

A Korean-Japanese parliamentary group is promoting an idea to break the diplomatic logjam between the two countries that involves Seoul returning to a bilateral intelligence-sharing pact and Tokyo cancelling export restrictions, a member of the group exclusively told the JoongAng Ilbo on Tuesday.

One “important opportunity” for both countries to decide on such a “simultaneous action plan” will come at the end of this month, when Seoul dispatches an official to Japanese Emperor Naruhito’s enthronement ceremony on Oct. 22 in Tokyo, the source continued.
