“There is an increasing need for Korea and Japan to cooperate in this time,” Yoon said in a written interview with international media on Wednesday, calling both North Korea’s nuclear and missile threats and supply chain disruptions a “polycrisis”.
Still, Japan remains cautious about immediate improvements in relations, with a Japanese government official who requested anonymity saying that “Japan and South Korea relations are looking up, but it’s still a step-by-step process”. Relations between the two countries, which have frayed over disputed islands, wartime labour and Korean “comfort women” forced to work in Japanese wartime brothels, made headway last week when Seoul announced a plan for its companies to compensate former forced laborers.Kishida welcomed the labour compensation move and spoke of hopes of “bolstering relations” with Yoon’s visit.
