TOKYO, March 7 (Reuters) - Japan and South Korea have not decided whether to resume a bilateral currency swap arragement as their relations improve, Japanese Finance Minister Sunichi Suzuki said. The currency swap had expired years ago when ties between the countries soured. Seoul said on Monday its companies would compensate people forced to work under Japan's 1910-1945 occupation, seeking to end a dispute that has undercut U.S.-led efforts to present a unified front against China and North Korea.
