Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s visit to the controversial Yasukuni war memorial was deplorable and anachronistic, South Korea’s culture minister said.

Seoul was “furious” at the “deplorable visit,” Yoo Jin Ryong said.

“The visit would fundamentally hurt stability and cooperation in north-east Asia".
