    The two countries are meeting at the WTO to solve a dispute over tighter export controls launched by Japan in September, which South Korea say violate WTO trade rules.
    South Korea's delegation, led by Director-General for Trade, Chung Hae-Kwan, were the first to arrive.
    The Japanese delegation quickly followed, led by Trade Director-General, Kuroda Junichiro.
