Japan will reportedly not be submitting resolutions regarding Korean wartime sex slaves at an upcoming trilateral summit with South Korea and China since Seoul and Tokyo couldn't reach an agreement on the issue.

Japan’s Asahi Shimbun daily reported on Wednesday that Tokyo had intended to submit the resolutions at the summit being held on Sunday and Monday, but the government couldn't hash out a compromise with South Korea.

The paper said Japan even apparently sent a foreign ministry official to Seoul to find common ground on the issue, which concerns Korean women forced into sexual slavery by Japanese soldiers during Japan's colonial occupation of the Korean Peninsula.

The daily said Japan has decided to give up presenting resolutions since it can't determine what South Korea specifically wants at this present time.
