규제철회 요청에 日 '침묵'…정부 "오늘 입장발표"
South Korea is set to announce its stance on Japan's export curbs.
The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy says it will hold a press briefing in a couple of hours to announce Seoul's position on the export curbs that Tokyo imposed in July last year.
Japan has not responded to Seoul's request to lift the restrictions by the end of May.
Tokyo had imposed curbs on three key materials used for making chips and displays... in protest against South Korea's top court's ruling on Japan's wartime forced labor.
Experts believe Seoul will restart its complaint process at the World Trade Organization, which it had suspended last November.
