South Korea Foreign Minister Cho Visiting Japan, US for First Meetings with Allies

On Tuesday, South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Hyun is set to visit Japan to meet with Takeshi Iwaya in Tokyo, his first overseas trip since taking office.
Amid improved relations since 2022, Japan and South Korea agreed in phone talks to maintain close communication and promote stable ties, according to Japan's Foreign Ministry.
Cho said, 'But more importantly, we will discuss how to cooperate between South Korea, the U.S. and Japan as well as strengthen the U.S. alliance in a comprehensive way,' and he added they will discuss bilateral issues including historical disputes 'in a future-oriented way.'
As Seoul makes a final push to secure a trade deal, Cho will meet U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on July 31 as negotiations near completion.
Amid renewed diplomatic efforts, Cho highlighted that Japan–South Korea cooperation is crucial in the Indo-Pacific region as both seek to enhance sectors like green hydrogen, shipbuilding, semiconductors, and security.
