“I think chances are high for Yoon and Kishida to meet in Spain, whether it is an official bilateral meeting or a casual pull-aside one. A meeting between the Korean and Japanese leaders has always been difficult to take place because any meeting is bound to entail talks on the two countries' histories. However, there are things to be done this time, such as talks about North Korea's nuclear and missile threats, Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the changing circumstances in the Indo-Pacific region. … Though it may not be a deep conversation, I view that the chances of them meeting are high.”
