S. Korean president calls Japan ‘partner’ on Liberation Day FMTNews FMTWorld
South Korean president Yoon Suk-yeol aims to strengthen ties with Tokyo in response to North Korea’s growing nuclear threats.
In response, Yoon has pulled South Korea closer to long-standing ally Washington while seeking to bury the hatchet with former colonial power Japan. He reiterated that Tokyo, Seoul and Washington must “share North Korea’s nuclear weapons and missiles data in real-time”. On last year’s anniversary, Yoon offered Pyongyang an “audacious” aid plan that would include food, energy and infrastructure help in return for the North abandoning its nuclear weapons programme.
Kim last month oversaw a dramatic military parade featuring new attack drones and Pyongyang’s nuclear-capable intercontinental ballistic missiles, flanked by visiting Russian and Chinese officials.
