韩国和日本高级外交官举行会面，随后其外交部长就困扰两国关系的“慰安妇”问题进行了会谈。

'Comfort women' refer to the Korean women forced into prostitution for Japan's military brothels during World War Two, an obstacle that remains a problem between better ties between the East Asian neighbors.

“慰安妇”是指二战期间被迫为日本军队提供性服务的妇女，该问题是东亚国家之间友好关系的障碍。

尽管日本表示没有改变1965年双边条约的补偿立场，日经新闻报道称日本将提议建立一个政府支持的基金帮助前慰安妇，以此作为可能协议的一部分。
