[Title] Agreed Minutes to the Agreement on the Art Objects and Cultural Co-operation between Japan and the Republic of Korea

[Notes] Quote from the United Nations Treaty Collection: "Translation by the Government of Japan. The Secretariat also received an English translation of this agreement from the Government of Republic of Korea which on certain points differs from that provided by the Government of Japan. At the request of the Government of Republic of Korea, these differences have been shown by printing in italics the pertinent word of phrase in the translation of the Government of Japan and providing in square brackets the corresponding expression in the translation by the Government of the Republic of Korea."

The Korean representative stated to the effect that he desired that art objects originated in the Republic of Korea and being in private possession of Japanese nationals will be donated to the Korean side.

The Japanese representative stated that, since voluntary donation to the Korean side of such art objects in possession of Japanese nationals will at the same time contribute to the promotion of cultural co-operation between the two countries, such donation is commendable in the view of the Government of Japan [the Government of Japan will commend and encourage such donation].
