SEOUL/TOKYO: South Korea and Japan's finance ministers will hold a bilateral meeting early next month for the first time in seven years, heralding closer cooperation in economic policy that has been hampered by diplomatic conflict.
They will meet on the sidelines of the Asian Development Bank annual meetings, due to be held in Incheon, South Korea from May 2 to 5, although other details have yet to be decided, Choo said. Regular annual meetings between the two countries' finance ministers have been suspended since 2016 due to disputes over wartime history.
