On January 26, the East Asia Institute held a meeting at its Seoul office with part of the Korean Peninsula Research Team from the Japan Institute of International Affairs(JIIA). Professor Emeritus Okonogi Masao of Keio University led the Japanese team in a lively discussion with EAI researchers that ranged from the launch of the new US Trump administration and the situation in Northeast Asia and the Korean Peninsula to the North Korea nuclear problem and Korea-Japan relations. Researchers from both countries also exchanged analyses and views on potential policy solutions to the long-standing issues that face the Korea-Japan bilateral relationship
