TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will send Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida to South Korea this month to seek a resolution on the "comfort women issue", public broadcaster NHK reported on Thursday.
Japan and South Korea agreed last month to speed up negotiations to resolve the issue of comfort women, a euphemism for girls and women forced into prostitution in Japanese wartime military brothels, a feud that has been a major obstacle to better ties between the two sides.
