INCHEON, South Korea - The culture ministers of South Korea, Japan and China agreed on Friday to step up cultural exchanges and other areas of cooperation despite recent tensions over trade and their shared history.
Their meeting in the South Korean port of Incheon comes amid an escalating trade and diplomatic spat between Japan and South Korea, and an intensifying regional rivalry with a rising China. The ministers - Park Yang-woo of South Korea, Japan’s Masahiko Shibayama and Luo Shugang of China - promised more cultural, sport and people-to-people exchanges over the next 10 years. During that time Japan will host the 2020 Summer Olympics and the 2022 Winter Olympics will held in Beijing.
Park and Shibayama held separate talks on Thursday where they agreed to continue cultural cooperation despite the feud between Tokyo and Seoul, South Korea’s culture ministry said in a statement.“Japan-South Korea relations are in a tough spot and deepening exchanges at the grass-roots level through cooperation in the cultural field will help improve relations,” Japan’s Kyodo news agency quoted Shibayama as saying.
