Japanese PM Ishiba visits Busan, South Korea, for first such trip in 21 years to boost ties and cooperation.
Outgoing Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba visited Busan, South Korea, on September 30, 2025, marking the first time in 21 years a Japanese prime minister has traveled to a South Korean city outside Seoul.
The two-day trip, part of a revived "shuttle diplomacy" effort, aimed to strengthen bilateral ties amid shared concerns over regional security, aging populations, and economic cooperation.
The leaders discussed collaboration on emerging technologies, regional development, and preparations for the upcoming APEC summit.
Ishiba also visited the grave of a South Korean student who died in a 2001 Tokyo train incident, symbolizing reconciliation.
The meeting comes as both nations seek to deepen economic integration, with South Korea considering joining the CPTPP, and amid broader U.S.-led trade pressures.
