South Korea will drop a World Trade Organization (WTO) complaint against Japan as Japan agreed to lift its export curbs on high-tech materials to South Korea, the South Korean trade ministry said on Thursday.
In July 2019, Japan imposed export curbs on materials used in smartphone displays and chips amid a decades-old row with Seoul about South Koreans who said they were forced to work under Japan's 1910-1945 occupation of Korea.
