Prime Minister Fumio Kishida left Haneda Airport in Tokyo on a government plane and arrived in Seoul on Sunday for a two-day trip to South Korea.

He is scheduled to meet with South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol in Seoul in the afternoon. The visit is intended to strengthen Japan-South Korea relations through resuming reciprocal visits, an initiative agreed upon during the leaders’ Tokyo summit in March.
