There have been many changes in the relationship between Korea and Japan. In particular, relations between the two countries have made great progress, starting with the Murayama Discourse and A New Japan-Republic of Korea Partnership towards the 21 Century. However, the difference in perceptions of the two countries and the liquidation of past history surrounding historical issues are still a pending issue today. Now, the people of both countries hope that the historical issue will no longer have a negative impact on the solidarity of the two countries.
