TOKYO (Reuters) – Japan will reinstate South Korea to its “white list” for exports with fast-track trade status effective July 21, Japanese trade minister Yasutoshi Nishimura said on Tuesday, a crucial step for resolving an economic row between the two nations.
Japan lifted export curbs on high-tech materials to South Korea in March as the nations mended ties amid North Korea’s repeated missile launches and China’s stepping up defence activities.
