South Korean President Lee Jae-myung will visit Japan on August 23 and 24 for talks with Prime Minister Ishiba Shigeru.
The summit was announced by both countries on Wednesday. Lee is scheduled to then travel to Washington for his first face-to-face talks with US President Donald Trump on August 25.
Lee and Ishiba met for the first time in June on the sidelines of the Group of Seven summit in Canada.
They agreed to maintain close communication and organize visits to their respective countries.
Ishiba also noted this year’s significance for bilateral ties, as it marks the 60th anniversary of normalized diplomatic relations.
