This chapter deals with the new Japan-Republic of Korea relations. As a result of the visit of President Kim Dae Jung of the Republic of Korea to Japan in October 1998, and his meeting with the Prime Minister Keizo Obuchi of Japan, the two leaders declared their common determination to build a new Japan-Republic of Korea partnership towards the 21st century. They shared the view that it was extremely important to advance the partnership between the two countries in the bilateral dimension and for the peace and prosperity of the Asia-Pacific region. The two leaders also shared the view that in order to achieve peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula, it was extremely important that North Korea pursue reform and openness and take through dialogue a more constructive attitude.Keywords: Asia-Pacific region; Japan-Republic of Korea partnership; Joint Delcaration; North Korearead more
