The leaders of South Korea and Japan are to meet next week on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly in New York in the countries’ first summit in nearly three years amid tensions over history.
The two sides have agreed on a meeting between South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and are discussing the exact timing, Kim Tae-hyo, a deputy national security director for Yoon, told reporters.
Kim said the meeting is one of a series that Yoon is pushing to hold with world leaders attending the U.N. General Assembly next Tuesday and Wednesday. He said South Korea and the U.S. have also agreed on a meeting between Yoon and President Joe Biden. Ties between South Korea and Japan, both key U.S. allies, are at their lowest point in decades after South Korean courts ruled in 2018 that two Japanese companies -- Nippon Steel and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries — must compensate former Korean employees for forced labor during Japan’s 1910-45 colonial rule of the Korean Peninsula.
