Japan to create one billion dollar friendship fund
Japan will set up a one billion dollar fund to fund projects on postwar history and cultural exchange over ten years starting 1995. It will not provide direct payments to individual wartime victims, drawing criticism from former sex slaves and their advocates who demand direct compensation under existing treaties and conventions. Protests erupted in Seoul as sources urged further action for repatriation of Koreans left abroad and for direct reparations.
