TOKYO -- Japan will overhaul the way it deals with international economic disputes, including the enlistment of private-sector expertise and raising the status of international litigation unit at the foreign ministry, after losing its case against South Korea's ban on seafood imports at the World Trade Organization.
"This incident made us think about how we can strengthen our own organizational structure," said a Japanese government official. Breaking down bureaucratic barriers will also be part of this effort to better argue cases.
