Lee Jae-myung, chairman of the Democratic Party of Korea, criticized the Sado Mine memorial service as the worst diplomatic disaster since liberation, saying it was reduced to an event to celebrate Japan's UNESCO listing, not to commemorate victims of forced mobilization.
Representative Lee pointed out at the Supreme Council that the memorial service, in which the forced mobilization of more than 1,500 Koreans disappeared, has been the result of the Korean government's low-profile and pervasive diplomacy.
He then stressed that if Japan's history distortion and humiliating diplomacy continue, future-oriented and normal relations between Korea and Japan will be difficult.
Representative Lee also assessed that the clock on the end of the war in Ukraine is fast turning with the will of U.S. President-elect Trump.
He also said that he intends to recommend Trump as a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize if the end of the war is realized, given that it will have a positive effect on peace on the Korean Peninsula.
