Japan's Outgoing Prime Minister to Visit South Korea for Diplomatic Talks

Japan's outgoing Prime Minister, Shigeru Ishiba, is scheduled to visit the South Korean port city of Busan on September 30 and October 1. According to reports from multiple sources, including Japan's Mainichi Shimbun and Kyodo News, the visit is for official discussions with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung.

The meeting between the two leaders is not officially confirmed, but is expected to take place later this month. The exact purpose of the meeting is not specified, but it is understood to be a continuation of ongoing discussions between the two countries.

The planned talks aim to discuss enhancing bilateral cooperation and regional security between South Korea and Japan. Additionally, the meeting is expected to discuss common social challenges, such as low birth rates and regional revitalization.

The visit to Busan by Shigeru Ishiba is the latest in a series of diplomatic meetings between Japan and South Korea. Last month, the two leaders agreed to establish a joint consultative body to address these issues. It is expected that the joint consultative body will be discussed during the meeting in Busan.

The Japanese newspaper reported the information based on diplomatic sources, and the visit is being arranged by Shigeru Ishiba himself. It is important to note that the meeting between Lee and Ishiba is not the second meeting in Busan, as earlier reported.

While the exact purpose of Shigeru Ishiba's visit to Busan is not specified, it is clear that the meeting is an important step in the ongoing efforts to strengthen the relationship between Japan and South Korea. As the two countries continue to work together, it is hoped that they will be able to find common ground and address the challenges they face in a constructive and productive manner.
