Japan's Foreign Ministry 'No UN Korea-Japan Summit' Presidential Office 'Agreement'

The Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately denied the announcement of the UN-Korea-Japan summit by the South Korean presidential office, saying, “There is no agreement.”
A high-ranking foreign ministry official in Japan said on the 15th that South Korea's announcement, "I've never heard of it, and I don't know why it's sending such a message," Yomiuri reported today.
Yomiuri said in an article titled <Summit Meeting Between Prime Minister Kishida and President Yun> The Korean Presidential Office "Agreed to hold a meeting with the Japanese side"... Japanese side "There is no fact of an agreement"> “The Japanese side is aware that there is no response from the Korean side to the lawsuit against the conscripted ex-workers and the environment for holding the summit is not prepared. Even if the two leaders meet, there is a high probability that they will have brief contact with each other.”
At a briefing in the presidential office on the afternoon of the 15th, Kim Tae-hyo, first deputy chief of security, said in an introduction to President Yoon's tour schedule to Britain, the United States and Canada, which will be held from the 18th to the 24th, "At the UN General Assembly, we agreed to hold the Korea-US summit and the Korea-Japan summit, and we are adjusting the time. " said.
A high-ranking official at the presidential office said at a briefing, "The US and Japan agreed to hold bilateral talks early and are in the process of coordinating the schedule." Regarding the Korea-Japan summit, a high-ranking official said, "We readily agreed that it would be good to meet each other this time." "We have not yet decided what we will talk about. On issues such as forced labor, South Korea carries out its own process and provides confidential opinions with Japan. We met without the need to check because the summit suddenly met," Yonhap News reported.
Yomiuri reported on the 15th that in an article from Seoul on the 15th, an official from the office of President Yoon Seok-yeol told reporters that "we were willing to reach an agreement" and that due to the schedule of the event, it would be "face-to-face in about 30 minutes".
Japanese media reported on the same day that Foreign Minister Hayashi had reached an agreement to hold a meeting with South Korean Foreign Minister Park Jin in New York.
An official from the presidential office said, "President Yoon will arrive in London on a private plane on the 18th and attend a reception presided over by Charles III to comfort the new king, and he is also scheduled to visit Westminster Hall, where the queen's body is enshrined." The next day, I will attend the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II at Westminster Abbey, and on behalf of the Korean government and people, I will deliver my condolences to the deceased.”
Regarding the second funeral condolences following President Yoon's private embassy mortuary on the 9th, an official from the presidential office said, "In some countries, the heads of state go to the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II of England as a married couple, and in some countries, they come alone. "From the British point of view, as we commemorate the deceased, Bona and I think it would be much more meaningful for the Bona couple to send their tribute together with courtesy, so I know that they are accompanying them," he said. In fact, in a notice earlier, Mrs. Kim said, "During this tour, Mrs. Kim will attend diplomatic events with the summit couple, such as a reception by President Biden and a meeting with compatriots.

"Presidents, prime ministers and monarchs from around the world will travel to London over the weekend to pay tribute to Queen Elizabeth and attend a reception at Buckingham Palace hosted by King Charles the day before the funeral," Reuters reported. The Queen Consortium is hosting a reception at Buckingham Palace on the 18th as an official national event before the funeral.”
