""Both sides agreed on "shuttle diplomacy" three years ago, with regular meetings at the highest level. Lee's national security adviser, Wi Sung Lac, said the summit's goal was to build trust between the South Korean and Japanese leaders. Lee and Takaichi discussed ways to boost cooperation in a raft of areas including cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, combating cross-border crime, and promoting people-to-people exchanges.""
""I believe cooperation between Korea and Japan is now more important than ever and anything else, as we have to continue moving forward to a new, better future amid this complex, unstable international order," Lee said at the outset of the summit. Takaichi said she wanted to further improve Japan's relations with South Korea "as I believe the two countries should cooperate and contribute for the stability in the region.""
""Japan and South Korea, both longtime US allies, also share a complicated relationship with China. Lee's Japan trip comes after he visited China last week. In Beijing, the South Korean leader met with his Chinese counterpart, President Xi Jinping, to repair bilateral relations after strained ties under Lee's predecessor Yoon Suk Yeol. Lee asked Xi to use China's influence on North Korea to promote the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.""
South Korean President Lee Jae Myung and Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi met in Nara and agreed to strengthen bilateral ties and cooperation amid rising global geopolitical uncertainty. They emphasized the importance of cooperation to pursue a new, better future within a complex, unstable international order. Both leaders committed to regular summit-level "shuttle diplomacy" to build trust. They identified cooperation areas including cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, combating cross-border crime, and promoting people-to-people exchanges. Foreign affairs and regional stability framed talks amid unpredictable US "America First" policies and US-China trade rivalry. Lee recently visited China and asked President Xi to use influence to promote North Korean denuclearization.
