President Yun Seok-yeol met Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida at 1:25 a.m. today at a meeting hall in a building near the General Assembly of the United Nations in New York.
The meeting between the two leaders lasted about 30 minutes, and it is the first time in two years and nine months that the leaders of South Korea and Japan have met publicly.
The summit was held in such a way that President Yun visited the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty and CTBT event, attended by Prime Minister Kishida.
The presidential office described this meeting as a 'short-cut meeting', explaining that it was conducted in a way that did not set an agenda in a multilateral meeting.

What kind of conversation happened during this meeting?
<Reporter>
The most striking thing is that the two countries shared the need to improve relations.
In a situation where the issue of compensation for victims of forced mobilization is not easily resolved, it is read with the intention of seeking a solution through dialogue with diplomatic authorities.
Regarding the North Korean nuclear issue, the presidential office added, "We shared serious concerns about North Korea's nuclear program, including the recent enactment of nuclear force law, and agreed to cooperate with the international community," the presidential office added.
The meeting came to an end after both sides fought until the very last minute, with the specific schedule and format not being finalized until today, the same day.
An official from the presidential office said, "There is a conflict between Korea and Japan, but it is meaningful that the two leaders took the first step to achieve tangible results."

Have you met US President Biden?
<Reporter> President Yoon Seok-
yeol and US President Joe Biden met in New York a while ago.
We met at the 7th Global Fund Enactment Fair Meeting hosted by President Biden.
At first, President Yoon was not invited to attend the meeting, but he also gave a brief speech while receiving additional invitations.
The format of the meeting and the agenda are still unknown, but the biggest issue between the two countries is how to reduce US inflation.
Earlier, a high-ranking official at the presidential office had said that when President Yoon met with President Biden, he would talk about ways to reduce the damage to our company.
It is said that the time the two leaders met today was short, but it is attracting attention as to what level of discussion would have taken place.
