On the 5th, former Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga, who is also the chairman of the Japan-Korea Parliamentary Friendship League, said, "Japan and South Korea are important neighboring countries that should cooperate as partners on various issues facing the international community," and "The importance of Japan-Korea and Japan-US-Korea cooperation remains unchanged."
"I sent a message of congratulations to President Lee Jae-myung on his inauguration yesterday," he said at a meeting of the Japan-Korea Parliamentary Friendship Association held in the National Diet on the same day, according to NHK.
" As neighboring countries, difficult issues do exist, but as we mark the 60th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic relations, we will seek to communicate at various levels so that Japan-Korea relations can move forward in a stable manner," Suga said.
"It is important that the two sides work together to achieve this goal," he said. At the meeting, the leaders of the Japan-Korea Parliamentary Friendship League gathered to exchange views, and a proposal was put forward for former Prime Minister Suga to visit South Korea and meet with President Lee as soon as possible.
It was decided that.
