South Korea is negotiating with Japan for a summit between their leaders, potentially to occur during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in South Korea. This comes as Sanae Takaichi becomes Japan's first female prime minister, marking a significant moment in Japan's political landscape and bilateral relations.

South Korea has initiated working-level discussions with Japan aimed at organizing a bilateral summit, according to Kang Yu-jung, spokesperson for Korea's presidential office. The announcement was made during a press briefing on Tuesday.
