BANFF, Canada (Kyodo) -- Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba and his South Korean counterpart Lee Jae Myung will meet Tuesday on the fringes of the Group of Seven leaders' summit in Canada, the Japanese government said.

It will be their first face-to-face meeting since Lee replaced impeached president Yoon Suk Yeol earlier in the month.

When Ishiba and Lee spoke by phone last week, they shared the view that bilateral relations should develop in a stable manner.

The Asian neighbors have seen an improvement in ties that were chilled over issues related to wartime history and territory. The Korean Peninsula was under Japan's colonial rule between 1910 and 1945.

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the normalization of their diplomatic ties.

Both Ishiba and Lee are in Canada where the two-day G7 summit is set to end on Tuesday.
