S. Korea proposes Japan summit to improve ties
Seoul said Monday it had offered Japan a long-awaited leadership summit seen as a major conciliatory step toward improving relations, AFP reported.
A spokeswoman for South Korea’s president said a summit had been proposed between Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and President Park Geun-Hye on the sidelines of a trilateral leadership meeting being held with China in Seoul next week. “We have made a proposal to hold the summit on November 2, but have not heard from Japan yet,” she said.

Seoul and Tokyo have made a series of moves in recent weeks toward a rapprochement after an extended period of diplomatic mistrust.
