Japan’s Takaichi Courts South Korea With China Rift Deepening

This summit could pave the way for enhanced cooperation between Tokyo and Seoul, potentially leading to a more unified front against Beijing's assertive policies. However, the success of this initiative will depend on overcoming historical grievances that have long strained Japan-South Korea relations.
