TOKYO (AP) - Thousands of Japanese who were abandoned in China following Tokyo's defeat in World War II will receive more aid from the government after dropping their compensation lawsuits, an official said Monday.
Top government spokesman Yasuhisa Shiozaki welcomed the plaintiffs' decision to accept the proposal crafted by the ruling coalition.
"Once the aid package is finalized, we are fully prepared to carry it out so that they will feel truly glad about having returned to Japan," Shiozaki told reporters Monday.
