South ​Korean President ​Lee ‌Jae Myung and Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi held a fourth meeting in about six months on Tuesday, with both leaders pledging to continue deepening bilateral ties.

The two countries have long had a turbulent relationship over issues related to Japan's 35-year colonization of the Korean Peninsula before the end of World War II, but ties have recently been on the mend.

Both Lee and Takaichi are relatively new to their jobs, having taken office last year.

What did Lee and Takaichi agree?

Following the talks in Andong, Lee's hometown, the two leaders said they would step up coordination to stabilize energy supply lines and expand cooperation with other Asian partners.
