From Drums to Diplomacy: Japan's Takaichi Hosts South Korean President | Vantage With Palki Sharma

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and South Korean President Lee Jae Myung met for a two-day summit in Nara, Japan, ending talks with an unusual drumming performance. The visit came days after Lee met Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing, amid rising tensions between Japan and China over Taiwan. Lee noted South Korea would not intervene in the dispute but warned against confrontation. During formal talks, the leaders agreed to deepen cooperation on economic and security issues, including supply chains, artificial intelligence, semiconductors and North Korea. They also agreed to continue shuttle diplomacy, while acknowledging unresolved historical issues linked to Japan’s colonial rule of Korea.
