Quick Glance: South Korea Objects to Japanese Leaders' Yasukuni Shrine Offerings

South Korea expressed deep disappointment on Sunday over Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's offerings at the Yasukuni Shrine and urged Japanese leaders to show repentance for the country's wartime past.

The shrine is viewed by Beijing and Seoul as a representation of Japan's historical military aggression due to its inclusion of 14 Japanese wartime leaders among the 2.5 million war dead honored there.

The South Korean government calls on Japanese leaders to confront history and demonstrate sincere repentance, which would be a crucial step towards enhancing relations between the two countries.

Despite progress in the South Korea-Japan relationship, particularly in security cooperation, the offerings made by Kishida and some cabinet members at the Yasukuni Shrine have sparked protests from South Korea.

Kishida urges the US to continue playing a crucial role in international affairs, especially in the face of threats posed by China, Russia, and North Korea.

Quick Glance: Why Japan Seeks Summit with Nuclear-Armed North Korea

Japanese Prime Minister Kishida aims to engage in talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to address the issue of Japanese citizens abducted by North Korea in the 1960s and 1970s.

North Korea has not definitively stated its position on a summit with Japan, with some statements suggesting a potential opening for closer ties.

Past summits between Japan and North Korea had varying outcomes, with North Korea acknowledging some abductions in 2002.

Kishida's efforts to arrange a meeting with Kim Jong Un carry political risks and could lead to a decline in his approval ratings given North Korea's reluctance, posing challenges for Japan.
