SEOUL - South Korean president-elect Park Geun-Hye met Friday with the envoy of Japan’s new Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, as Seoul and Tokyo sought a new start to a relationship dogged by bitter historical disputes. Park called for future-oriented “reconciliation and cooperation” as she met with former Japanese finance minister Fukushiro Nukaga, according to her spokesman. Nukaga had brought a letter from Abe who spoke of South Korea as Japan’s “most important neighbour” and pledged his commitment to improving ties. Park said the two countries should build “confidence steadily while looking squarely at history”.
