On the 26th, Prime Minister Kishida will make adjustments to meet with the delegation sent by South Korean President-elect Yun Seo-gyeol to Japan.

The delegation, headed by South Korea's Vice-Chairman Jung Jin-suk, who is visiting Japan, met with Foreign Minister Hayashi and Defense Minister Kishi on the 25th, and also chaired the Japan-Korea Parliamentary Union, which is made up of bipartisan parliamentarians. We also met with Mr. Nukaga, the former Minister of Finance of the Liberal Democratic Party, and Mr. Nakagawa, the former Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of the Constitutional Democratic Party.



The South Korean delegation also requested a meeting with Prime Minister Kishida during his stay in Japan until the 28th of this month, so the government has carefully considered how to respond.



As a result, Prime Minister Kishida will make adjustments to meet with the delegation on the morning of the 26th.



Prime Minister Kishida has expressed his willingness to improve Japan-South Korea relations through a series of talks so far, while expressing the idea that diplomatic efforts of both sides are necessary to resolve various issues between the two countries. Based on this, it seems that there is also an intention to determine what kind of response the Korean side will take in the future by having a direct discussion.
