Delegation Sent By President-Elect Yoon Visits Japanese Leadership this Week

Hopefully this is the beginning of an improved relationship between the ROK and Japan:

A delegation of President-elect Yoon Suk-yeol arrived in Tokyo on Sunday for meetings with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and other top officials, carrying a letter from Yoon that outlines his will for “new relations with Japan.”

The visit by the seven-member delegation, led by Rep. Chung Jin-suk of Yoon’s People Power Party, came as Yoon has stressed the importance of restoring relations with Japan that have been frayed badly over the past few years due to rows over issues like wartime sexual slavery and forced labor.

Japan is the second foreign country that Yoon has sent a delegation to after the United States.

“I think the letter carries President-elect Yoon Suk-yeol’s will and expectations for new relations with Japan, as well as his expectations for positive responses from Japan,” Chung told reporters after arriving at Narita International Airport.

The delegation is expected to meet with Kishida on Wednesday and hand him the letter from Yoon.
