JAPANESE Prime Minister Naoto Kan expressed remorse and apology for Japan's annexation of the Korean Peninsula today.
The apology came ahead of the 100th anniversary of Japan's annexation of the Korean Peninsula on August 29 and 65th anniversary of Korea's liberation from Japan's colonial rule of the Korean Peninsula on August 15 which extended from 1910 to the end of the Second World War in 1945.
The move, directed at the Republic of Korea, is believed to aim to strengthen future-oriented ties between the two countries.
In addition to the apology, Japan will also return some Korean artifacts to the ROK, including some royal records of the Joseon Dynasty.
Kan said he again expressed "deep remorse" and "heartfelt apology" for the huge damage and suffering caused by the colonial rule.
The Japanese Prime Minister said at the historic moment, attention should be focused on the next 100 years and the countries should work harder to build closer and stronger ties.
