- SECOND R.O.K.-JAPAN JOINT HISTORY REPORT RELEASED
In March 2010, South Korean and Japanese researchers from the ROK-Japan Joint History Research Group released a public version of their findings from the second term of their government-endorsed joint history project. While disagreements continued among the thirty-four South Korean and Japanese scholars in the second term of the project over the interpretation of sensitive issues from the period of Japan’s colonization of Korea from 1910-1945, progress was made in the form of agreements on issues such as the non-existence of the Japanese “Imna” government headquarters in the fourth century. The full report, as well as Japanese and Korean media coverage on the public release of the report can be found below:
