South Korea’s President Yoon Arrives in Japan for Rare Summit Talks

TOKYO—South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol arrived in Tokyo on Thursday for the first formal summit between the leaders of South Korea and Japan since 2011, with trade and intelligence sharing on the agenda.

Mr. Yoon’s visit comes after his administration last week proposed a plan to resolve a standoff over payments for Koreans forced to work for Japanese companies during World War II, one of the most contentious of an array of disputes between two countries.
