Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe,... the man at the center of rising tensions in the
region because of controversial historical acts and comments,... says he will actively
seek summit talks with Korean President Park Geun-hye.
Speaking in parliament on Thursday,... Abe said Korea was Japan's most important neighbor,
and one that shares Japan's values. He also said that, while historical and territorial
differences have exacerbated tensions as of late,... the leaders of both countries should
sit down for a heart to heart talk. Abe has been saying he'd be open to summit
talks with President Park since his New Year's speech last month,... but he has yet to offer
concrete measures for improving relations with Korea.
