An official of the Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that it was true that he had considered the Japan-Korea summit meeting in time for the Tokyo Olympics, and said, "The content of the discussion was unilaterally leaked to the media in the form of quoting Japanese government officials. He expressed his strong regret.
South Korean Foreign Ministry officials announced comments on the 11th, and President Moon Jae-in visited Japan at the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics on the 23rd of this month, and met with Prime Minister Suga for the first time in a face-to-face summit. "It is a fact that we have considered it on the premise that it will be done in an appropriate form," he said.
He expressed his strong regret, claiming that "but recently, the content of discussions between diplomatic authorities has been unilaterally leaked to the media in the form of quoting Japanese government officials."
"It is difficult to continue discussions in this situation, and we request that the Japanese side respond carefully."
However, it has not been clarified what the content of the discussion claiming to have leaked specifically refers to.
Regarding President Mun's visit to Japan, an official of the South Korean presidential office said on the 9th, "We have not decided, and we are in a position to consider if we can foresee the summit meeting and its results."
An official of the Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs commented on the 11th that the Korean government is nervous about the Japanese side's response as Japan-South Korea relations are chilling due to issues such as the comfort women issue and the issue of "recruitment" during the Pacific War. I'm telling you.
