A summit between Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un seems to be becoming more feasible, which raises a key question about South Korea s preparedness to buffer any possible fallout on its relations with Japan.
Critics have accused the South Korean government of playing into Japan’s narrative on Dokdo, which Tokyo claims as the Takeshima islands, amid pressure from Washington for the two to set aside their historical quarrels.
There was much back and forth between South Korea and Japan up until the moment their leaders actually met in New York on Wednesday (local time) for a meeting. Days before President Yoon Suk-yeol s second official overseas trip to three nations - namely Great Britain, the United States and Canada since he was inaugurated on May 10, the presidential office told reporters in a confident tone that Yoon and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida would meet on the sidelines of their speeches at the U.N. Kim Tae-hyo, deputy director of the National Security Office, emphasized that the two leaders happily agreed to meet during their visits in New York.
