Distrust between Korea, Japan: poll

TOKYO: Distrust between South Korea and Japan is sky high, a new poll showed Tuesday, as ties between two of Washington’s key Asian allies continue to deteriorate over historical grievances.

A record-high 73 percent of Japanese say their neighbor is untrustworthy, while 85 percent of South Koreans do not trust Tokyo, a joint survey by the Yomiuri Shimbun and Hankook Ilbo dailies said.
