South Korea's Prime Minister Inagyeong (66), who visited Japan in line with the Emperor's imperial ceremonial ceremony (22), responded to the Asahi Shimbun's independent interview. He is scheduled to meet with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on the 24th, referring to the possibility of bringing a letter from President Moon Jae-in. Mr. Wen said that he had a strong desire to break out of the relations between Japan and South Korea due to the problem of the original recruitment work, and expressed his wish to connect this meeting to a summit meeting this year.
Lee stressed, “The president wants to solve all of the immediate problems this time, even if it is difficult to solve them at this time. He is very worried about Korea-Japan relations.”
