At the G20 summit in Johannesburg, South Korean President Lee Jae Myung met German Chancellor Friedrich Merz to request sharing of Germany's experience in overcoming division and achieving reunification amid efforts to ease Korean Peninsula tensions. Lee's administration has sought to resume engagement with North Korea since taking office in June, but Pyongyang has remained unresponsive. The two leaders agreed to strengthen bilateral cooperation.
