TOKYO, Dec. 9 (Xinhua) -- The Japanese government said Friday that Japan's stance regarding ties with South Korea has not changed following the impeachment of South Korean President Park Geun-hye though analysts here have pointed out a number of impacts caused by political chaos in South Korea.
"The (impeachment motion) has just passed, so we will need to further observe how the situation turns out," Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told a press conference shortly after the impeachment vote.
The chief cabinet secretary added that there would be no change to cooperation between the two countries in a range of fields.
