It has been revealed that Prime Minister Fumio Kishida is planning to visit South Korea in early May and hold a summit meeting with President Yoon Seo-yue. 28, officials said. The leaders of Japan and South Korea agreed to normalize relations at a meeting held in Tokyo in March. They agreed on the resumption of mutual visits “shuttle diplomacy” between the leaders. If this is realized, it is expected that the two countries will strengthen cooperation in the diplomatic and security fields, including the issue of North Korea, which has repeatedly launched ballistic missiles.
Ahead of the G7 Hiroshima Summit in May, we will work to further build trust with Mr. Yoon. A visit to South Korea by a Japanese prime minister has been halted since then-Prime Minister Shinzo Abe attended the opening ceremony of the Pyeongchang Olympics in February 2018.
Prime Minister Kishida said that Yoon’s visit to Japan was leading to the normalization of relations between Japan and South Korea.
