Japan’s Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and his government welcomes the victory of South Korean president-elect Yoon Suk Yeol. Japanese officials and experts expressed a sense of relief and hope for an improvement of the strained ties between the neighbors.
Kishida, however, said Japan will stick to its principle that all compensation issues have been settled by the 1965 bilateral treaty, which he said has been the basis of the friendly and cooperative relations between the two countries. He said it is crucial for Seoul to “keep promises between the nations.”
With South Korea returns to a conservative leader who is expected to seek a stronger alliance with the United States and, Japanese officials and experts have expressed relief, although the leadership change may not serve a quick fix. But Masahisa Sato, senior lawmaker in charge of the governing party’s Foreign Affairs Division, cautioned against high expectations.
Relations between Tokyo and Seoul deteriorated after South Korean court rulings ordered Japanese companies to pay reparations to Korean laborers over their abuses during World War II. Another sticking point is Korean “comfort women” who were sexually abused by Japan’s wartime military occupation.
