South Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on the 9th that the South Korean government decided not to attend the memorial ceremony for victims of forced labor recruitment at the Sado Gold Mine in Japan on the 12th in Sado City, Niigata Prefecture. This will be the third year in a row that South Korea will be absent from the ceremony. South Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on the same day that South Korea and Japan were unable to reach a consensus on the core dispute, so South Korea decided not to attend the ceremony. The South Korean side pays close attention to the relevant decisions made by the 48th UNESCO World Heritage Conference on Sado Gold Mine, and urges Japan to implement the recommendations made in the decision in an effective and complete manner.
