Japan and South Korea strengthen ties amidst shared challenges.
TL;DR Summary
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol held their second summit in less than two months to boost bilateral ties amid growing concerns over North Korea's military activities and the rise of China's influence in the region. The meeting comes less than two weeks before the G7 summit, which is scheduled to take place in the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The US plays an important role in bringing Seoul and Tokyo closer together, and military deterrence is the most valuable support that the US can offer to Japan and South Korea.
