Moon Jae-in, Who Swears Pro-Japanese Criticism, ‘It’s Especially Nice To Meet Japanese Prime Minister Suga’
Let’s be elected President Biden. Park Ji-won and Passport Executives Go to Tokyo
1.
It seems that the Moon Jae-in administration, which had been cursing pro-Japanese groups, suddenly turned pro-Japanese.
On the 8th, the intelligence director, the intelligence director, publicly flew to Japan to meet with Prime Minister Suga.
On the 12th, members of the Korean-Japanese Congress of Congress, including Kim Jin-pyo and Yoon Ho-jung, who were senior citizens of the passport, flocked to visit leading politicians, including the Prime Minister.
Finally, President Moon Jae-in greeted the leaders of each country, especially Japanese Prime Minister Suga, at the ‘ASEAN + 3 Summit’ held on the 14th.
2.
It’s a sudden change, so the fisheye is stupid.
No need to make a quick turn. Although the change in attitude is unexpected, it can be criticized, but the direction of improving relations with Japan is correct and should be praised.
There seems to be some results. Prime Minister Suga and Liberal Democratic Party secretary Nikkai, who had not met with Korean politicians until recently, are somewhat ambiguous, but are showing positive responses.
In the difficult relations between Korea and Japan, this is enough to feel that the underlying work has progressed considerably.
3.
What stands out is Park Ji-won’s lightning appearance. It gives the impression that there is a complex problem and the government is in a hurry.
It is because North Korea is involved. Park Ji-won accurately scratched the area that stung the Japanese government.
It is the North Korean kidnapping problem. This is a difficult problem that former Prime Minister Abe showed tenacity, but was unable to solve at all.
What drew Japan’s attention even more was the link between the kidnapping issue and North Korea’s participation in the Tokyo Olympics.
The Tokyo Olympics, which were postponed this year due to the coronavirus, is an event that Japan has dedicated itself to.
Just as the 1964 Tokyo Olympics informed all nations of the rebuilding of post-war Japan, through these Olympics we strive to reveal the health of Japan, which has risen since the ‘lost years’.
Four.
The politician, Chief Secretary Nikai, appeared on a live broadcast and said: “ It’s a very good idea to use the Tokyo Olympics. ”
He also said that the issue of forced labor, which is hampering the improvement of bilateral relations, has to be “conversational and people will understand.”
Prime Minister Suga is more cautious but positive.
Regarding attending the Korea-China-Japan summit this year, he said, “I hope they resolve the conditions.” It is not “absence”, but “conditional assistance”, but it is progress.
Park Ji-won said, ‘It will work out fine. Moon Jae-in’s special greeting seems to be along the same lines.
5.
The largest variable in the Korea-Japan relationship is the United States.
As long as the two countries fight their pride over historical issues, it is almost impossible to improve relations. So looking at previous examples, important breakthroughs were generally made when the United States put pressure on both countries.
Broadly speaking, from the ‘normalization of diplomatic relations between Korea and Japan’ in 1965 to the ‘comfort women agreement’ in 2015.
Japan gave half of its foreign reserves to Korea during the normalization of diplomatic relations due to pressure from the United States rather than the bargaining power of Kim Jong-pil.
It is also the role of the United States that Prime Minister Abe accepted the phrase “apology and reflection” at the time of the 2015 agreement.
6.
The recent mode of rapid reconciliation between Korea and Japan is also due to the US presidential elections and the election of President Biden.
Biden emphasizes alliances. Korea and Japan are essential alliances for the ‘blockade of China’.
However, hostility between Korea and Japan has recently deepened. In terms of strengthening the Pacific alliance, the most urgent task is to improve relations between Korea and Japan.
It is no exaggeration to say that the United States is the only country in which Japan works.
The symbol of Prime Minister Abe playing golf with Trump and falling out of the bunker (sand trap) is his symbol. Abe devoted his entire body to crushing Trump.
7.
Suga won’t save to buy Biden’s crush.
Suga needs to dissolve the assembly sooner or later.
To reestablish himself in an early general election before his popularity declines further. Hopefully I will be able to do it for another three years after my term as LDP governor ends next September.
Meanwhile, you have to pay. We must also play the Olympics and become Asia’s main partner against China through cooperation with the United States.
It is the process of regaining Japanese pride. If the kidnapping problem is solved in the meantime, it will be a great victory.
It is the best opportunity for us to try to improve our relationship with Japan. For national interests that transcend the pro-Japanese and anti-Japanese.
