Japan's Leader to Visit South Korea Ahead of G-7 Summit

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida plans to visit South Korea on May 7 and 8 for talks with President Yoon Suk Yeol.
The visit comes ahead of the Group of Seven leaders summit in Hiroshima this month.
The aim is to further strengthen their ties before the upcoming Group of Seven summit.
Tokyo and Seoul have been working to repair relations that were strained over wartime history disputes.
Japan and South Korea want to ensure their relations are on track for considerable recovery ahead of G-7, where Yoon is invited as one of eight outreach nations.
