S.Korea says will halt WTO dispute process while discussing Japan's export curbs

South Korea will halt its World Trade Organization (WTO) dispute resolution process sparked by a complaint against Japan as the two countries discuss Japan's export curbs on high-tech materials to South Korea, Korea's trade ministry said on Monday.

In 2019, Japan imposed export curbs on high-tech materials used in smartphone displays and chips during a decades-old row with Seoul over South Koreans forced to work for Japanese firms during World War Two.
