The following is a continuation of the previous chapter.
The claim that the comfort women issue was born by misinformation such as Asahi Shimbun and also of the blunders by Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which apologized without examined, I've been doing repeatedly during this period.
Surely, historically, there was existence, the comfort woman, but until the beginning of the 1990s, there was not the comfort woman problem with the meaning that the problem which a solution is demanded from is left.
It is the one of "we ourselves made" for the Nakayama Member of Parliament to say the situation that the comfort woman becomes a diplomatic problem.
First, it diffused in the inside and outside of the country in a lie "that it is possible to have put a lot of Korean women in the comfort woman by taking them to the field as the volunteer corps" by Asahi Shimbun's doing a big campaign contrary to the fact.
By the politician and the government official at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and in the governments in those days such as the official residence, fluctuating to the campaign of the lie, it apologizes first without doing inquiry, too, just like "The ancestor did a horrible thing calmly” Japanese Government had admitted a thing.
Then, "the comfort woman problem" for Japan became the problem to how eliminate the ungrounded lie which spreads to the inside and outside of the country.
Well, will Japan and the Republic of Korea “the comfort woman agreement” which was accomplished on December 28th last year (2015) lead to the solution of "the comfort woman problem" for Japan?
The answer is no.
The agreement this time is because it is the diplomatic compromise which was accomplished to make improve persistently aggravated Japan-Korea relations.
In the diplomatic negotiations, the compromise is always an inevitable accompaniment.
It is common sense that, to maximize a mutual national interest, it endures each other.
It is the excellent diplomat that will gather things to think that its own country is favorable at 55 - 45, or 51 - 49 each other.
In the meaning, an agreement is well made.
