South Korea shouldn't take sides in China, Japan spat: President
South Korea President Lee Jae Myung holds a press conference at the
Blue House in Seoul on Dec 3, 2025, the first anniversary of the
declaration of martial law by ousted president Yoon Suk Yeol.
SEOUL: South Korea's leader said on Wednesday (Dec 3) that his country wouldn't take sides in an escalating war of words between Japan and China, calling for the two sides to "coexist".
Tokyo and Beijing have been locked in
a dispute after Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi suggested that Tokyo could intervene militarily should China invade Taiwan.
The comments triggered a sharp diplomatic backlash from Beijing, which has urged its citizens
to avoid travelling to Japan.
Speaking in Seoul, President Lee Jae Myung told a news conference that taking sides would only worsen tensions.
"The ideal approach is to coexist, respect one another, and cooperate as much as possible," he said, describing northeast Asia as a "highly dangerous region in terms of military security".
