Foreign Minister Yoriko Kawaguchi hopes to visit South Korea this weekend to discuss a wide range of issues, including ways to deal with North Korea, ministry sources said Monday.
Tokyo and Seoul are trying to arrange a three-day visit for Kawaguchi that would begin Friday evening, with a meeting with South Korean Foreign Affairs and Trade Minister Choi Sung Hong planned for Saturday, the sources said.
Kawaguchi told a news conference last week her planned visit is meant to build on the close and healthy overall bilateral ties.
