Citizen diplomacy draws South Korea and Japan closer
Original: Citizen diplomacy brings Korea, Japan closer
South Korea and Japan are growing closer through citizen-level exchanges, according to a Korea Times report. People-to-people diplomacy — spanning cultural, civic and grassroots contacts — is credited with warming bilateral ties alongside official efforts to improve relations between the two neighbours. Observers say ordinary citizens are helping sustain the thaw where politics alone could not.
Why now: Ongoing improvement in South Korea-Japan relations is a live regional topic, and people-to-people exchanges are being highlighted as a driver of the thaw.
