The visits are the first by senior officials since Japan and South Korea agreed to security ties
TOKYO – Japan marked the anniversary on Thursday of its defeat in World War Two with visits by at least three cabinet ministers to the controversial Yasukuni shrine that other Asian nations see as a symbol of the country's wartime aggression.
Fourteen prominent convicted war criminals, including wartime prime minister Hideki Tojo, are among the 2.5 million war dead honoured at the shrine. The visits are the first by senior government officials since Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol agreed with US President Joe Biden to pursue deeper security ties.
"Our government urges responsible Japanese leaders to face history and demonstrate humble reflection and genuine introspection," South Korea's foreign ministry said.
