S.R. Cho said, "Korea-Japan relations, which have been at a low point, will take a step forward in the wake of the inauguration of the new government and a visit to Korea by Japanese Prime Minister Fukuda Yasuo," adding that "This year we will exert efforts to conclude a Korea-Japan FTA, which Korean and Japanese entrepreneurs seek to forge."
