Ties have been fraught for years over the bitter legacy of Japan's occupation of Korea from 1910 to 1945.
SEOUL, South Korea – South Korean Foreign Minister Park Jin began a meeting in Tokyo on Monday, July 18, with his Japanese counterpart, carrying a message of reconciliation in hopes that the neighbors can overcome historical disputes and repair strained ties.
Park smiled as he bumped elbows at the meeting with Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi on his first trip to the Japanese capital since South Korea’s new President Yoon Suk-yeol took office in May, which is to be followed by a dinner.Speaking to reporters in Seoul before flying to Tokyo, Park described his trip as “very meaningful”, adding that he would tell the Japanese side that Yoon had a strong will to improve South Korea-Japan relations.
South Korean officials hope the high-level visit will launch talks to secure a breakthrough in the disputes, despite concerns that the death of former Japanese premier Shinzo Abe could change Japan’s policy priorities.
