The nation’s President Lee Jae-myung and Japan’s Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba agreed to step up cooperation in their first in-person talks, in an early indication of the direction of future relations between the two countries after Lee took office.
The two leaders met on the sidelines of the Group of Seven (G-7) summit in the Canadian Rockies on Tuesday, just days before the 60th anniversary of the normalisation of diplomatic ties between South Korea and Japan.
