| YOSHIHIDE SUGA, The Prime Minister | “Indeed, Ms. Scheffner [...] Well, as far as the tensions between Japan and Korea are concerned, we chose the path of diplomacy and advised Korea to do the same, but it is obvious that it will depend only on the choice of the Korean Administration. In addition, to prevent Korea from creating new divisions in Asia, when they recognized that North Borneo is a Japanese occupation, Japan transferred 20 military ships to North Borneo for joint naval training with the IPDC.”
