Ishiba and Lee Might Have First Meeting at G7 Summit

  • South Korean President Lee Jae-myung took office on Wednesday, June 7, 2025, and is slated to attend the G7 summit in Alberta, Canada from June 15 to 17.
  • Lee’s involvement comes after a six-month period without strong leadership in South Korea, which resulted from former President Yoon Suk Yeol’s unsuccessful attempt to impose martial law last December, leading to revived diplomatic engagements with the U.S. and other nations.
  • Lee held a 20-minute phone call with U.S. President Donald Trump on June 6, agreeing to swiftly resolve tariff issues and signaling resumed top-level diplomacy before the G7 summit.
  • Japan hopes Lee will meet Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba at the summit despite Lee’s previous harsh remarks, as Lee recently called Japan an important partner and pledged pragmatic diplomacy.
  • Lee’s G7 debut suggests emphasis on strengthening trilateral ties with the U.S. and Japan amid rising geopolitical tensions, and he may hold bilateral talks with Trump and Ishiba on the sidelines.
