South Korea saw the proportion of its trade with Japan drop to an all-time low this year amid strained bilateral relations and the yen's continued fall that makes Korean goods less attractive in overseas markets, government data showed Monday.
According to the data provided by Statistics Korea and the commerce ministry, South Korea's exports to Japan came to US$24.44 billion during the January-September period, which accounted for 5.7 percent of the country's total overseas shipments.
