SEOUL/TOKYO - A row between Japan and South Korea escalated on Saturday, with contested accounts of a frosty meeting the day before that had failed to make progress on a dispute that could threaten global supplies of microchips and smartphone displays.
Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry also disputed a Korean official’s statement that Seoul had asked Japan on Friday to withdraw the restrictions. “I am frustrated,” said the Korean official, who declined to be named due to the sensitivity of the matter. In the Friday talks, South Korean officials expressed regret over Japan’s export restrictions and asked Tokyo to remove them, participant Han Cheol-hee, a trade ministry director, told reporters as he was leaving Japan on Saturday.
One reason for the sensitivity over characterising the talks could be a Japanese fear that if Korea can assert that it used consultations and unsuccessfully sought to have Tokyo withdraw the curbs, Seoul could justify escalating the matter to the World Trade Organisation.
