Tokyo/Seoul | Japan's plan to remove South Korea from a list of trusted export destinations would have a grave impact that could hurt security ties between the two US allies, Seoul's top diplomat said.
South Korean Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha spoke on Thursday after meeting her Japanese counterpart Taro Kono for their first face-to-face talks since Tokyo announced last month it was tightening monitoring of exports of three specialty materials vital to its Asian neighbour's technology sector.
