Outgoing Japanese Prime Minister IshibaConsiders a Visit to South Korea's Busan
Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba is set to embark on a significant diplomatic trip to South Korea, marking a crucial moment in the relations between the two nations. This will be Ishiba's first visit to South Korea since taking office in October 2024.
The exact date of the trip is around Sept. 30, according to diplomatic sources, with the Japanese Prime Minister planning a two-day visit to the southeastern South Korean city of Busan. The trip is being arranged by both the Japanese and South Korean governments, and will likely focus on discussing important issues between the two countries.
The upcoming meeting between Ishiba and South Korean President Lee Jae-myung is expected to further deepen the relationship between the two nations in addressing their shared challenges. These challenges include overconcentration in metropolitan areas and declining populations in regional areas in both Japan and South Korea.
The discussions between the two governments will aim to address the issues of aging populations and regional revitalization. Ishiba and Lee have agreed to launch discussions to address these social issues, with the upcoming meeting serving as an opportunity to explore potential solutions to the shared challenges between Japan and South Korea.
The meeting in Tokyo on Aug. 23 served as a precursor to the upcoming discussions, and the upcoming meeting in Busan is expected to further strengthen diplomatic relations between Japan and South Korea. The meeting will likely discuss strategies to resolve the shared challenges in both countries.
Notably, Ishiba is the president of Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party. His visit to South Korea will be a significant diplomatic event between the two countries, and will be the last overseas trip he takes before his resignation, which he recently announced.
Lee expressed hope to hold his next meeting with Ishiba in a regional area in South Korea, and the trip is expected to include meetings with South Korean President Lee Jae-myung in these regions. The trip is expected to be a fruitful exchange of ideas and a step towards strengthening the bond between Japan and South Korea.
