Members of the opposition party, including President Kim Jin-pyo of the Congress Federation of Korea and Japan, enter the prime minister’s residence.

For the first meeting with Prime Minister Suga, which lasted almost 20 minutes, Nuka was also the president of the Japan-Korea Congress.

Prime Minister Suga expressed his appreciation for President Moon’s congratulatory message after taking office and expressed his expectations of diplomacy for the two lawmakers.

[김진표 / 한일의원연맹 회장 : 양국 지도자들이 어려운 한일 현안을 타결해 나가는 여건과 환경을 만드는데 열심히 하겠다고 했더니 총리가 감사하다고 그렇게 노력해 달라고 하셨습니다.]

Before the Prime Minister’s prevention, lawmakers also had a conversation with Yamaguchi, the head of Japan’s ruling party.

At this meeting, CEO Yamaguchi expressed his special thanks for the support that Korea showed in the Corona 19 situation last spring.

[야마구치 나츠오 / 공명당 대표 : (재일 한국 민단에서) 코로나19 감염 방지를 위해 여러 의료 기구와 위생용품을 일본 정부에 많이 기부해 주셨습니다. 대단히 감사드립니다.]

Representative Edano from the Constitutional Democratic Party, the first opposition party, also welcomed Korean lawmakers.

He emphasized that the friendship between the peoples of the two countries has deepened, focusing on the cultural exchanges of young people, and emphasized that we must gather wisdom in order to solve difficult issues.

[에다노 유키오 / 입헌민주당 대표 : 한국과 일본 관계를 어떻게든 개선하고 중국을 포함한 3개국이 지역의 안정과 발전을 위해 솔직한 의견 교환을 할 수 있는 환경을 만들어야 합니다.]

Japanese government spokesman Secretary of State Kato also commented on the visit by Korean lawmakers: “I hope to profess to create an environment for improving relations between Korea and Japan.”

Neither the Japanese government nor politicians believe that bilateral relations can remain as they are, but the perception that the Claims Agreement between Korea and Japan has resolved all compensation problems remains unchanged.

Of note is the role that the policy of Korea and Japan, which resumed dialogue amid fundamental constraints, will play in restoring deteriorating public opinion to the two countries.
