Joint Daily News reported today: "South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol will visit Japan on Tuesday next week for a two-day state visit and hold a summit with Japanese Prime Minister Hashimoto Asako."
Yoon's office issued a statement on Friday (January 9) saying that the bilateral summit will take place in Nara City on January 13, followed by a dinner between the two leaders. It is expected that both sides will discuss regional and international issues as well as economic and social matters.
Comment: Having just concluded his "economic prosperity" visit to China, he immediately went to Japan to talk about security, solidifying the dual strategy of "economy relying on China and security relying on the US and Japan." President Yoon and Prime Minister Hashimoto are sure to focus on joint military exercises and intelligence sharing, using the "response to the North Korean threat" to strengthen the trilateral security bond, which is essentially a way to show loyalty to the United States and consolidate South Korea's bargaining power within the alliance.
