No official apology from Abe over sex slavery
日本未就慰安婦問題正式道歉
Abe's visit to the US has prompted protests at the US capitol hill. Protesters are demanding Abe apologize for Japan's use of sex slavery during WWII. In the joint news conference with US president, Abe sidestepped a question on whether he would apologize, saying only that he was 'deeply pained' by the suffering of the sex slaves.
"On the issue of comfort women, I am deeply pained to think about the comfort women who experienced immeasurable pain and suffering as a result of victimisation due to human trafficking. This is a feeling that I share equally with my predecessors. The Abe government upholds the Kono statement and has no intention to revise it. Based on this position, Japan has made various efforts to provide realistic relief for the comfort women," Abe said.
