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. Adjusted around 7th and 8th. Multiple Japanese and South Korean diplomatic sources announced on the 28th. Ahead of the G7 Hiroshima Summit in May, the aim is to confirm the strengthening of cooperation in dealing with North Korea, which has repeatedly launched ballistic missiles.
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. The leaders of Japan and South Korea agreed to normalize relations at a meeting held in Tokyo in March this year. The two leaders agreed to resume “shuttle diplomacy.” A summit meeting between Japan and South Korea is also scheduled at the summit, and it is hoped that by holding a series of summit meetings in a short period of time, they will appeal to the soundness of Japan-South Korea relations.
