Japan's PM Fumio Kishida arrives in Seoul to meet South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol

Japan's Prime Minister Fumio Kishida arrived in Seoul yesterday to meet South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, as the leaders seek deeper ties amid nuclear threats from North Korea and China's increasing assertiveness. Kishida's bilateral visit, the first by a Japanese leader to Seoul in 12 years, returns the trip Yoon made to Tokyo in March, where they sought to close a chapter on the historical



disputes that have dominated Japan-South Korea relations for years.
