CHENGDU, China -- In their first official meeting since September 2018, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and South Korean President Moon Jae-in agreed Tuesday to continue talks on the issues at the root of the recent bilateral chill, though a resolution remains a long way off.
The summit here, which ran 15 minutes beyond the originally scheduled half-hour, began with efforts by the two leaders to dispel wariness on both sides. Abe stressed that Japan and South Korea are "important neighbors to each other."
