The Japan Economic Daily reported on the afternoon of the 3rd that the Korea-China-Japan summit, which was scheduled to take place in Seoul this year, was finally delayed.
The newspaper reported, “As the clash between Korea and Japan over compulsory military service continues, it is not possible to hold a meeting in person.
The newspaper said that Korea, which is this year’s president, has requested Japan and China to hold this year, but the Korean side did not present a specific timeline or agenda, and a senior Japanese government official said: “It is impossible to celebrate this year “.
The newspaper said that “Japan is in a position where it is difficult for Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga to visit Korea unless it is guaranteed that Japanese companies will avoid collecting assets.”
The Korea-China-Japan summit is an event held at the end of each year by three countries, including Korea, China, and Japan, and this year, Korea is the presidency.
However, Japan demanded that the assets of Japanese companies seized pursuant to the Supreme Court ruling last year not be converted into cash and maintained that Prime Minister Suga could not participate in the talks unless the Korean side offered a solution.
In order to break the rigid relationship between Korea and Japan, the ROK side visited Japan last month by the head of the National Intelligence Service, Park Ji-won, and members of the Parliamentary Federation of the Republic of Korea. and Japan and urged that talks be held within this year. However, the newspaper said that “the Japanese government is accepting that no convincing solution has been proposed.”
The newspaper also cited the broadcast of Corona 19 as another reason for the delay in talks. The newspaper said, “Corona 19 is also one of the reasons why the priority of summit diplomacy is falling under the Moon Jae-in regime,” and said: “In Korea, there are more than 500 confirmed cases of Corona 19 per day, and the third spread period is underway. “
The newspaper said that “Korea aims to hold the summit as soon as possible after the start of next year.” It is an opportunity to be able to do it.
However, the newspaper predicted that the difficult phase of relations between Korea and Japan will continue next year, saying: “There is a possibility that the confrontation will break down further depending on the outcome of the trial, such as two cases of lawsuits against the victims. of comfort women in December and January next year. “
Meanwhile, Blue House spokesman Kang Min-seok said: “There has been no decision regarding the Korea-China-Japan summit.”
