The planned conference between the leaders of South Korea and Japan, which will coincide with the NATO summit in Lithuania next week, represents a substantial advancement in the bilateral diplomatic ties.
The delegation of South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol will travel to a number of destinations, including Poland and the NATO summit.
South Korea hopes to address several important problems during this trip and have conversations with other world leaders.
President Yoon’s overseas travel coincided with a conference planned by South Korea and Japan, signaling a renewed push to promote communication and strengthen bilateral ties between the two countries.
The highly contentious issue of Japan’s projected release of treated radioactive water from the Fukushima plant into the ocean would probably take up the majority of the conversation at the next meeting between President Yoon and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.

Japan-South Korea Developments
Following a thorough two-year examination, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) recently came to the conclusion that Japan’s proposed discharge complies with international safety standards and will have little radioactive impact on both humans and the environment.
South Korea, meanwhile, has stated that it intends to evaluate the discharge plan independently and is scheduled to deliver its results on Friday.
President Yoon and Prime Minister Kishida’s meetings will probably be influenced by the findings of South Korea’s evaluation as both nations look for ways to allay any worries and identify common ground.
President Yoon will meet with the leaders of Japan, Australia, and New Zealand in addition to the South Korea-Japan summit on the sidelines of the NATO summit.
This gathering offers a chance for multilateral discussion of important regional challenges and common interests.
President Yoon hopes to advance cooperation, deepen diplomatic connections, and share viewpoints on many global concerns by taking part in such activities.
