Kyodo News, citing multiple sources, reported that Foreign Minister Takeshi Iwaya will attend the Munich Security Conference (MSC), an annual international security forum to be held in Germany from the 14th to the 16th.
He explained that he is considering doing so and that he hopes to hold a three-way summit with U.S. Secretary of State Marcos Benjamin Lee Rubio and South Korean Minister of Foreign Affairs Cho Tae-gyul in conjunction with the meeting.
If the three-way foreign ministers' meeting is realized, they will confirm cooperation policies in response to North Korea's nuclear and missile development, and will also discuss military cooperation between Russia and North Korea and promote cooperation in Europe and the Indo-Pacific region.
They are also expected to exchange views on the regional security environment and China's increasingly active maritime expansion. Bilateral talks between the foreign ministers of South Korea and the United States are also expected to take place.
The plan is reportedly being considered to hold a meeting between the foreign ministers of the two countries on the occasion of the Munich Security Conference, and the schedule is being adjusted.
The two had been scheduled to meet at the Munich Security Conference, but due to Secretary Rubio's schedule, they are expected to meet at the Munich Security Conference. Secretary Rubio toured Latin America earlier this month, and President Trump and Ishihara met on this day.
The schedule for the Prime Minister's Japan-U.S. summit meeting will be decided. After that, President Trump will hold summit meetings with Yemen, India, and other countries, so Secretary Rubio, the top diplomat, will also have to assist him.
If the Japan-Korea Foreign Ministers' Meeting is held in Munich, it will be the first time that Minister Cho and Minister Rubio meet. Minister Rubio and Minister Iwasaki already met in Washington DC on the 22nd of last month, and the two countries have been holding talks.
I have had inter-governmental talks.
