SEOUL (Reuters) -The leaders of South Korea and Japan agreed on Tuesday to work together to tackle global trade turmoil while reaffirming their commitment to denuclearisation on the Korean peninsula, a South Korean presidential spokesperson said.
President Lee Jae Myung hosted Japan's outgoing Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba on a goodwill visit to highlight the neighbours' commitment to improve once-frosty ties and cooperate more closely on trade.
