Japan and South Korea are two of the most influential countries in East Asia, with strong economic and cultural ties. However, their relationship has been marred by historical disputes stemming from Japan's colonial rule over Korea from 1910 to 1945, as well as ongoing territorial disagreements, such as the Dokdo/Takeshima islands issue. Despite these challenges, both countries recognise the importance of maintaining stable bilateral relations for regional security and prosperity.

Stay informed about the latest developments in Japan-South Korea relations, including high-level diplomatic meetings, joint economic projects, and cultural exchanges. Our feed also covers ongoing tensions related to historical issues, such as compensation for wartime forced labour and "comfort women", as well as any new disputes that may arise. We report on efforts by both governments and civil society organisations to promote reconciliation and understanding between the two nations.

The complex relationship between Japan and South Korea has significant implications for the people of both countries, as well as for the wider East Asian region. Our feed highlights the human stories behind the diplomatic headlines, such as the experiences of Koreans living in Japan, the impact of bilateral tensions on businesses and tourism, and the role of cultural exchange in fostering understanding between the two societies.

In the post-World War II era, both countries have navigated the challenges of reconciliation while forging ahead with economic cooperation and security alliances.
