Japan PM Kishida will visit South Korea for a summit with Yoon. Officials said Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida would visit South Korea in the coming weeks to meet with President Yoon Suk Yeol, reciprocating a Tokyo visit by the South Korean leader last month.

A Japanese and G7 official said the meeting was expected before Kishida holds a G7 summit on May 19.

On Saturday, Kyodo reported that the two would meet around May 7 or 8, citing anonymous Japanese and South Korean diplomatic sources.

Kyodo claimed they would clarify the two neighbors’ North Korean collaboration before the Hiroshima G7 conference.

Kishida told NHK that nothing was resolved at the bilateral conference.

Japan’s foreign ministry’s Saturday answering machine indicated no one was accessible over the weekend.

North Korea’s regular missile launches and China’s increasingly assertive global role have improved relations between Japan and South Korea, which strained wartime reparations and commerce.

In March, Yoon met with Kishida in Tokyo for the first time in 12 years and agreed to restart shuttle diplomacy.

According to NHK, Shinzo Abe visited South Korea in 2018.

During Yoon’s visit to Washington this week, President Joe Biden complimented his efforts to improve relations with Japan. Japanese media claims Biden, Yoon, and Kishida will meet on the margins of the Hiroshima summit.

According to the official media KCNA, Kim Yo Jong, the influential sister of leader Kim Jong Un, claimed a U.S.-South Korea security pact this week would aggravate the situation.

Kim stated that North Korea must improve its “nuclear war deterrent.”
