Representatives of the Republic of Korea are currently meeting with the representatives of the Japanese Government to study means of ensuring full rights of Korean nationality, property protection and restoration, normal opportunities for business activities, guarantees against arbitrary deportation, and enjoyment of equal civil liberties for the Korean population in Japan.
An agenda for the consideration of other pending problems between the two Government is also slated for discussion and is expected to be drawn up as part of the present Conference. Concurrently, a committee has been appointed to confer with Japanese spokesmen concerning the question of the return of certain ships to Korea.
I am satisfied that the Conference is proceeding with full recognition on both sides of the importance of solving these problems and of there by laying a foundation for future harmonious and mutually advantageous relations between the Korean and Japanese nations.
However, for the purpose to stabilize the mutual personal status relations, involving the nationals of the two countries, it was finally agreed on the point that it would be proper for each Government to recognize the treatment of the matters concerning the personal status relations by the other Government pursuant to its national law.
