Feb. 14 (UPI) -- SEOUL -- The atmosphere of supreme hospitality displayed between President Lee Jae Myung and Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi in January is poised to further energize both diplomatic ties and private-sector exchanges.
This follows Takaichi's landslide victory in the lower house election on Jan. 9, where the Liberal Democratic Party established a "one-strong" dominance -- the largest post-war victory -- signaling a period of sustained leadership.
This political stability is naturally expected to deepen the "New Era of Korea-Japan Relations" and accelerate the private-sector exchanges agreed upon at the summit, with a particular emphasis on the youth and adolescent generations.
At the summit held last month in Nara, the Prime Minister's hometown, Japan's "Omotenashi" diplomacy became a central theme.
