Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and South Korean President Lee Jae Myung are expected to reach an agreement on enhancing cooperation to maintain a stable energy supply when the two leaders meet on Tuesday (May 14). This information was reported by Kyodo News, indicating the move comes amid global energy market disruptions caused by the Middle East conflict.
Earlier the same day, Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs also issued a warning to its citizens against participating in child exploitation activities in Indonesia, emphasizing Tokyo's commitment to protecting children and upholding international law. This step reflects Japan's consistent stance on human rights and social security issues.
Analysts note that this bilateral meeting will focus not only on energy but also provide an opportunity for both nations to reaffirm their strategic partnership, given the growing energy security and geopolitical challenges facing the Asia-Pacific region.
