Lawmakers from Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's ruling party on Wednesday intensified calls on the government to act against South Korea, as the two countries have been locked in fierce historical and military related disputes in recent months.

At a meeting of Liberal Democratic Party lawmakers well versed in diplomacy, Japan's ambassador to South Korea, Yasumasa Nagamine, explained the current status of bilateral ties, while noting that it is important for Tokyo to keep communicating with Seoul and to manage differences.

Still, a chorus of hawkish requests came from lawmakers of the ruling party, with one attendee saying that the public wants "swift countermeasures" and that the government should show its resolve by recalling the ambassador.
