April 18 (UPI) -- South Korea criticized Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe for not being more careful in his public comments on a potential refugee crisis on the Korean peninsula.
Abe, who had said Monday that Tokyo is looking into policies to cope with an influx of asylum seekers from North Korea to Japan in the event of a conflict, is creating a false impression of the threat level, Seoul's foreign ministry said, according to News 1.
