Korea-Japan Foreign Ministers' Meeting in Seoul on the 13th...For the first time since martial law.

South Korea and Japan will hold a foreign ministers' meeting in Seoul early next week, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.

Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yeol and Japanese Foreign Minister Takeshi Iwaya will meet at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building on the 13th to reaffirm the importance of improving Korea-Japan relations and cooperation between South Korea and the U.S. and Japan, and discuss ways to cooperate.

In particular, regardless of our political situation, this year marks the 60th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic relations, and it is expected to be a place to emphasize cooperation for the development of relations.

Foreign Minister Iwaya is also reportedly coordinating a plan to prevent acting President Choi Sang-mok.

The foreign ministers of South Korea and Japan have spoken on the phone twice since the emergency martial law crisis, but this is the first time they have met in person.
