Possible Breakthroughs to Improve Japanese–South Korean Relations? (Mr. Kenichiro Sasae, President of the Japan Institute of International Affairs)
post date : 2019.11.05
Japanese-South Korean relations continually worsening for more than a year has affected numerous areas, including the economy, trade, and security. Both countries have been looking for ways to improve relations, such as with the recent high-level meetings, one on October 24, when Prime Minister Shinzo Abe met South Korean Prime Minister Lee Nak-yon when the latter came to Japan for the imperial enthronement ceremony, and another on November 4, when Prime Minister Abe met President Moon Jae-in in Thailand when both leaders attended ASEAN-related summit meetings.
The FPCJ has invited former Director-General of the Asian and Oceania Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, former Vice Minister for Foreign Affairs, and former Ambassador to the USA Kenichiro Sasae, now President and Director General of the Japan Institute of International Affairs, to speak about how Japan and South Korea can work towards improving bilateral relations.
