| 2009-09-29 |
| Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama will visit Korea on Oct. 9, according to diplomatic sources. Korean and Japanese diplomats said they are in the final stages of negotiating Hatoyama's visit. He is expected to visit Korea on Oct. 9 before going to Beijing for the three-way Korea-Japan-China summit the next day. It will be Hatoyama's first proper summit visit to a foreign country since his inauguration on Sept. 16, excluding multilateral summits abroad. The Yomiuri Shimbun said the plan reflects how important Hatoyama considers Korea to be. Hatoyama also came to Korea and met President Lee Myung-bak immediately after he became the leader of his party at the end of May. |
