Foreign Ministry Kicks Out Journalists

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade press Correspondents, who were driven out of the briefing room, holds a meeting in the corridor to seek counter measures on Wednesday. The press corps, who urged the punishment of those responsible for the measure, made a strong protest, saying, “The one-sided demolition work is an act of violence against the media.” According to the so-called “Advanced Media Support System,” a new measure aiming to control the media, the government began the remodeling to change the existing briefing room on the second floor of the MOFAT building into a joint briefing room.
