According to the latest solutions, the "Japanese Imperial Empires Mobilization Victims Support Foundation" of the Ministry of Administration and Security came forward to raise compensation for Japan's iron and Mitsubishi industrial payment in 2018 in 2018.It is understood that 16 Korean companies, including Pu Xiang -made iron, will raise funds through spontaneous donations.
