Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Kono said Korea would not want to worsen bilateral relations with Japan... and said President Moon should do more to resolve the issue.<br />Kono said he's been maintaining a restrained response as Prime Minister Lee Nak-yon was coming up with comprehensive measures... but that after hearing Lee's response stating what Seoul can do is limited,... the issue could no longer wait.<br />Earlier this week, Japan requested the dispute be settled through arbitration by a third party. <br />
