SEOUL –
Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol referred to as on Friday at a summit in Seoul to maintain up the momentum behind an enchancment in relations, which might be examined by imminent modifications of leaders in Tokyo and Washington.
Kishida’s ultimate, whirlwind journey to his neighbor as prime minister got here as the 2 leaders search to seal their newfound partnership after orchestrating an about-face in ties, prodded by U.S. President Joe Biden.
Relations between the 2 staunch U.S. regional allies had sunk to their lowest degree in a long time amid acrimonious diplomatic and commerce disputes over Japan’s 1910-45 occupation of the Korean Peninsula.
