TOKYO, 17 April 2022, (TON): A government source said “Japanese government is seriously considering high-level dialogue with incoming South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, with the conservative president-elect seen as willing to improve soured bilateral ties.”
High-level dialogue has not been held between the two countries for a while as the current administration of liberal President Moon Jae In has clashed with Japan over issues stemming from Japan’s colonial rule of the Korean Peninsula from 1910 to 1945.
The source said “Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s government hopes to strengthen cooperation with South Korea under the incoming president and forge closer coordination with the United States and South Korea over North Korea’s nuclear and missile issues.”
The immediate focus is on who should be sent to Yoon’s inaugural ceremony on May 10. Seoul is said to be expecting a senior official of the Kishida government to attend the event.
