Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga indicated Tuesday the government does not intend to launch new negotiations on the "comfort women" issue with other countries after sealing a deal with South Korea.
His comments came days after Taiwan called on Japan to begin negotiations over the issue.
During his regularly scheduled news conference, Suga repeatedly said that Japan has already dealt with other countries over the issue of women and girls who were forced to work in Japanese wartime military brothels.
