South Korean President Lee Jae Myung has offered to help ease rising tensions between China and Japan. He stated that choosing sides in the dispute would only make the conflict worse.
President Lee emphasized a strategy of cooperation instead. "It is better to seek ways to coexist," he said.
His comments position South Korea as a potential neutral mediator. The offer comes amid longstanding regional disagreements over trade, security, and history.
The leaders of China and Japan have not yet publicly responded to the proposal.
