TOKYO -- Yoon Suk Yeol expects to use his first visit to Japan as South Korea's president to accelerate cooperation on issues of regional concern such as supply chains and North Korea.

"I expect substantial cooperation among South Korea, Japan, the U.S. and Taiwan, who lead the semiconductor industry, to contribute to securing global supply chains," Yoon said in a written interview with Nikkei.
