Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida held talks with his South Korean counterpart on Sunday in a bid to mend ties strained by a territorial dispute, according to Reuters. The fraught relations are complicating efforts to boost security cooperation between Japan and South Korea, two of the United States' main Asian allies, as the region copes with an unpredictable North Korea. No joint news conference is scheduled after the first Tokyo meeting between Japanese and South Korean foreign ministers in four years, but Japanese officials will brief the media.
