“I look forward to engaging with both the Republic of Korea and Japan, but like-minded (countries) as well, on trying to develop options both inside the U.N. as well as outside the U.N. The point here is that we cannot allow the work that the panel of experts were doing to lapse.”

“All of a sudden South Korea's rhetoric became even more hostile towards Pyongyang. In Japan as well, we hear aggressive rhetoric and it is seriously talking about setting up NATO infrastructure with U.S. assistance. They're preparing for war with the DPRK.”

“The way that [Japan and China] are similar is that there's an open question about whether they have been overinvesting, and piling up a lot of debt. That means that eventually, they need to pay down the debt, and that is going to mean lower growth.”

“The South Korean electorate is deeply divided about rapprochement [with Japan], about deeper integration and collaboration with Japan. I'm not really convinced that the South Korean legislature, the National Assembly, supports this kind of engagement. And I'm not sure if the South Korean public does either. That underscores the need to establish long-lasting contingency plans for the myriad security and other threats in the region. And that's going to be difficult I think.”

“Necessary procedures for those issues will be completed within this week. We will also get down to a process of revising rules for swiftly putting Japan back onto our trade whitelist and have consultations with Japan regarding the matter. Korea and Japan were able to resume government-level consultations after a yearslong hiatus, which is expected to boost cooperation between companies of the two nations and to reinvigorate sizeable investment.”

“Yoon is coming to seal the recently concluded deal on wartime forced labour with Kishida, an accord driven by security concerns and Washington's desire to have its allies collaborate on current threats rather than dwelling on shared history. But in both countries there is little support for the deal so it is unlikely to paper over differences for long, thus increasing chances yet again of disappointing and sowing seeds of mutual recriminations. Like the 2015 comfort women deal, the forced labour accord is not getting traction because it is trying to diplomatically sidestep the lingering trauma of serious human rights abuses and fails to offer a grand gesture of contrition or reconciliation.”

“Cooperation between Korea and Japan is very important in all areas of diplomacy, economy, and security amid the current grave international situation and complex global crisis. I believe that the vicious circle should be broken for the sake of the people at the national interest level, rather than leaving the strained relationship unattended for a long time. I hope Japan will positively respond to our major decision today with Japanese companies' voluntary contributions and a comprehensive apology.”

“War with China would produce destruction on a scale unseen by the United States since 1945. Deterrence is possible and affordable, but it will require planning, some resources and political will. In four weeks of fighting, the United States typically lost hundreds of aircraft, two aircraft carriers and up to two dozen other ships. Bases on Guam were devastated. The Taiwanese economy suffered extensive damage. Japan was often dragged into war. China also took terrible losses, often including more than 100 warships and tens of thousands of soldiers killed, wounded or captured. Such a failure might endanger the Chinese Communist Party's grip on power.”

“Pyongyang has been concerned about military exercises by the U.S., South Korea and Japan, so to strengthen its self-proclaimed deterrent, it is making explicit the nuclear threat behind its recent missile launches. The KCNA report may also be harbinger of a forthcoming nuclear test for the kind of tactical warhead that would arm the units Kim visited in the field.”

“It's very important for Beijing to show to the US that it has levers to pressure America and its global interests. The joint manoeuvres with Moscow, including the naval drills, are intended to signal that if the pressure on Beijing continues it will have no other choice but to strengthen the military partnership with Russia. It will have a direct impact on the interests of the US and its allies, including Japan.”

“In the past, we had to unshackle ourselves from the political control imposed upon us by imperial Japan so that we could regain and defend our freedom. Today, Japan is our partner as we face common threats that challenge the freedom of global citizens. When Korea-Japan relations move towards a common future and when the mission of our times aligns, based on our shared universal values, it will also help us solve the historical problems that exist between our two countries. We must swiftly and properly improve Korea-Japan relations by upholding the spirit of the Kim Dae-jung-Obuchi Declaration which proposed a blueprint of a comprehensive future for Korea-Japan relations.”

“While the U.S.-China rivalry has been showing signs of turning into a zero-sum game, deciding whether to join the chip alliance is a really complicated issue even for the Yoon administration, which supports the U.S.' Indo-Pacific strategy against China while seeking to build a bilateral relationship of mutual respect with Beijing. The previous strategic ambiguity between the U.S. and China meant we would not suffer a loss or pay a cost while benefiting from them, but that era has ended and now we are facing a situation in which that we have to put up with a loss or shoulder expenses. Should Korea not join the alliance, Japan would try to fill our absence, and in consideration of that, we will be in a position to accept the U.S. invitation.”

“As you might know, the Yoon Suk-yeol administration is seeking to improve ties with Japan as soon as possible, so if [Abe's] memorial service is set, our high-ranking delegation will be sent there to convey the president's respects. We were in talks over my trip to Japan, but the shocking death of the former Japanese prime minister happened. However, we are poised to continue discussing the issue.”

“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.”

“U.S. intelligence believes that the North is preparing its Punggye-ri test site for what would be its seventh nuclear test. This assessment is consistent with the DPRK's own recent public statements. We are preparing for all contingencies in close coordination with our Japanese and ROK allies. Furthermore, we are prepared to make both short and longer term adjustments to our military posture as appropriate in responding to any DPRK provocation and as necessary to strengthen both defense and deterrence to protect our allies in the region.”
