Officials said that South Korea -Japan relations have been in a state of tension for nearly ten years, and a series of major events that have occurred since 2018 have led to increasing mutual trust between the two countries.The leaders of the two countries will meet in this context, but due to the rushing time, it is difficult to summarize their respective positions and words in the same way.
