South Korea's Lee to visit Japan next week for talks with Takaichi

South Korea's President Lee Jae-Myung will travel to Japan next week for talks with Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, Seoul said Friday. This visit comes just days after meeting Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Beijing.

President Lee and Prime Minister Takaichi last met in October on the sidelines of the APEC summit in the South Korean city of Gyeongju.

The visit, scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday, occurs amid heightened regional tensions following China's military drills around Taiwan late last month as well as ballistic missiles fired by North Korea into the Sea of Japan.

This meeting is an opportunity to discuss pressing issues, such as North Korea's recent missile tests, which threaten peace in East Asia. The leaders must also address how these geopolitical tensions could impact trade and economic cooperation between their countries.

Furthermore, the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine poses challenges for both nations. They need to coordinate efforts at international forums like the United Nations to find effective solutions to the global conflict.
