The Prime Minister of Japan traveled to Seoul, the capital of South Korea, to meet with the President of South Korea. The two leaders talked about North Korea's nuclear threat and China's increasing assertiveness during their talks.
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol met in Seoul on Sunday. The two leaders' agendas were nuclear threats from North Korea and building deeper ties with China.
A Japanese leader's first bilateral visit to Seoul in 12 years brings back Yoon's visit to Tokyo in March as they try to close a chapter on the historical disagreements that have dominated relations between the two countries for years.
Before departing, Mr Kishida told reporters he hopes to have “an open discussion based on a relationship of trust” with Mr Yoon, without elaborating on specific issues.
Some of the South Korean public criticizes Yoon for giving more than he receives to improve relations with Japan.
