The South Korean presidential office told reporters Tuesday that Prime Minister Fumio Kishida is planning a two-day visit to South Korea, starting Sunday, to meet with President Yoon Suk-yeol. Kishida stated, “It will be a good opportunity to frankly exchange opinions on ways to develop Japan-South Korea relations and the rapidly changing international situation,” while speaking to reporters in Accra, Ghana. The visit comes less than two months after Yoon’s visit to Tokyo for a summit with Kishida.
The upcoming visit signals improved relations between Seoul and Tokyo. It also comes earlier than anticipated, as Tokyo prepares to host the G-7 summit in Hiroshima later this month. Kishida had previously invited Yoon to attend the G-7 summit meeting earlier in March.
