Since taking office in May 2022, South Korea’s Yoon has made repairing relations with Japan a top priority. This year, Yoon visited Japan and pledged to end years of hostility at a summit with Japan’s Kishida. Japan agreed to lift export restrictions on semiconductor materials, and South Korea withdrew its complaint to the World Trade Organization (WTO).
The two countries have since engaged in intensive military and economic co-operation and revived alliances aimed at countering the North Korean threat and China’s growing influence.
This participation in Stanford University’s roundtable on innovation will provide an opportunity for the leaders of the two countries to further deepen their cooperation. By strengthening exchanges and cooperation with each other, South Korea and Japan are expected to achieve a closer partnership in the future.
