According to a report on the “Japan Times” website on June 7, Japanese Prime Minister Ishiwari Shigeru and South Korea's new President Lee Jae-myung may meet for the first time at the G7 summit to be held in Canada later this month. Earlier, Lee Jae-myung announced on the 6th that he will attend this summit. The South Korean President's Office issued a statement saying that Lee Jae-myung was invited by G7 leaders to attend this meeting. This will be his first time on the international diplomatic stage. The report said that in the past, Lee Jae-myung has always been known for his apparently tough stance on Japan, including fierce opposition to the “third party compensation plan” proposed by the Yoon Suk-yue government against forced labor recruitment in Japanese factories and mines before and during World War II. However, he has repeatedly denied that he is anti-Japanese, calling this a “stereotype.”
