[Asia Economy reporters Ryu Jeong-min and Kim Dong-pyo] The Blue House conveyed that if there is a problem regarding Japan's move to set preconditions for participating in the Korea-China-Japan summit, it rather means they should meet. This implies that attaching preconditions to the resolution of the forced labor issue when deciding whether to attend the summit is inappropriate.

Kang Min-seok, spokesperson for the Blue House, said on the 14th, "Whether to meet or not should not become a precondition for resolving bilateral issues, which is our government's position," adding, "We meet to solve problems. If there are problems, we should rather meet and try to resolve them."

Spokesperson Kang stated, "If meeting is set as a prerequisite, nothing will be resolved," and added, "The government will continue efforts to hold the Korea-China-Japan summit."
