INCHEON, South Korea (Reuters) – Japanese Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki and his South Korean counterpart Choo Kyung-ho on Tuesday met on the sidelines of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) annual meetings held this week.
It was the first bilateral finance leaders’ meeting in seven years, highlighting improving relations between Japan and South Korea in the face of North Korea’s frequent missile launches and China’s more muscular role on the global stage.
