It is part of a bid to speed up talks in order to improve strained ties, an effort agreed to by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and South Korean President Park Geun Hye during a rare meeting in Seoul last month. South Korea is demanding a formal apology and compensation for the Korean survivors of the enslavement.
