And has the Korea-Japan summit started?

[Reporter]
After ASEAN+3, that is, the Korea-Japan-China summit, President Yoon Suk Yeol started the Korea-Japan summit from 5:46 a.m. in our perspective.

It is the first Korea-Japan summit in nine days since Shigeru Ishiba took office as Japanese Prime Minister.

A high-ranking official in the presidential office said that the leaders of Korea and Japan are meaningful in continuing the so-called "shuttle diplomacy" purpose, and that discussions on the development of relations will take place.

He also explained that he will talk about how Korea-Japan relations will start anew next year, which marks the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations.President

Yoon will attend the ASEAN Conference from today to tomorrow and continue his diplomatic steps by holding bilateral talks not only with Japan but also with Canada, Australia, Laos, Vietnam and Thailand.

The president's office explained that it has established a top-level partnership 35 years after establishing relations with South Korea and ASEAN.President

Yoon said he will pursue comprehensive cooperation as a partner in common prosperity.

I'll listen to it myself.

[Yoon Suk Yeol / President: Korea and ASEAN will make a new history together. South Korea will continue its ASEAN-oriented diplomacy and promote all-round and comprehensive cooperation as a partner for common prosperity.]

As a concrete measure for this, the first ASEAN-Korea defense ministers' face-to-face meeting will be held in November, and the ASEAN-Korea think tank Dialogue will be launched next year to cooperate in responding to the trade environment.

In addition, we plan to expand our cooperation to political, security, economic, social and cultural fields by promoting training programs for 40,000 ASEAN students over the next five years.
