(Foto/Epoca/Brazil)Japanese Prime Minister, Naoto Kan, yesterday presented an apology for the suffering inflicted upon the Korean people for thirty-five of the Japanese colonization of Korea during the first half of XX century. "I express here once again my deep remorse and heartfelt apology for the suffering and the immense damage inflicted by the colonial regime," he has said. The apology, approved by the center-left government at a meeting in the morning, coincide with the hundredth anniversary this month, the annexation of Korea. That settlement was begun August 29, 1910 and ended August 15, 1945 with the surrender of Japan during the Second World War. In response, the spokesman for the South Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kim Young-sun said that Koreans' hope that all Japanese share this view, showing that Seoul welcomed the apology with great caution . Japan had recognized South Korea in 1965, giving it economic aid in return for a renunciation of any claim for repairs related to colonization. A more concrete measure was made in 1995, when Prime Minister Tomiichi Murayama, had presented "sincere apologies" to all Asian countries colonized.(Les Echos .FR)
