C est du moins ce qu’on vient d’apprendre du Yomiuri Shimbun. Selon le quotidien nippon, le tout premier tête-à-tête entre Moon et Suga se déroulera à la Maison des Hôtes d Etat de Motoakasaka, située dans la capitale japonaise. Leur discussion pourrait porter sur les disputes historiques de longue date entre les deux pays, tels que les « wianbu », les victimes de l esclavage sexuel perpétré par l armée japonaise durant la Seconde guerre mondiale, et celles des réquisitions forcées durant l occupation.

South Korea summoned the Japanese ambassador on July 17 over “undiplomatic” remarks about President Moon Jae-in and the possibility of a summit during the upcoming Tokyo Olympics, according to Seoul’s foreign ministry.
A senior Japanese diplomat had reportedly ridiculed Moon’s desire to meet with Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga, describing the South Korean leader as “masturbating with himself”.

At a press conference on Monday, Kato said the remarks by Hirohisa Soma, the deputy chief of mission, were very inappropriate for a diplomat under any circumstance or context.
Amid speculation over Soma s dismissal, the chief cabinet secretary said Amb. Koichi Aiboshi has reprimanded the official and that Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi is expected to make a decision on replacing Soma in consideration of his term of duty.
