필리핀에 첫 위안부 동상 건립…"일제 강점기 희생자 기억하자" 일본 반발
Japan has expressed regret following the Philippines' recent unveiling of a statue representing the so-called "comfort women."
In a press briefing Tuesday, Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said that Japan regrets any country installing a comfort woman statue, adding that it will decide how to react to through communication with the Philippine government.
On Friday, the League of Filipino Women and the National Historical Commission of the Philippines jointly unveiled the two-meter tall statue to honor some 1,000 Filipino victims who were forced into sexual slavery by Japanese soldiers during World War Two.
The Philippine government said it would not take any position on the comfort women issue, hoping that the statue would not affect Manila-Tokyo relations.
