Ishiba, Opposition Leaders to Discuss Tariff Talks on Thursday
News from Japan Politics Jun 9, 2025 22:23 (JST) Tokyo, June 9 (Jiji Press)--Japan's governing Liberal Democratic Party has proposed that leaders of ruling and opposition parties hold talks on tariff negotiations with the United States on Thursday, LDP Secretary-General Hiroshi Moriyama said Monday. Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, who heads the LDP, told reporters that he wants to hold a meeting with opposition leaders to ask for cooperation over the tariff talks. "Although some things can't be revealed due to the negotiations being of a diplomatic nature, we need to set up an opportunity where we can listen to opinions and insights from members of opposition parties who know the actual state of affairs," Ishiba said. Ishiba is expected to meet with U.S. President Trump to discuss his tariffs on Japanese imports, on the sidelines of a three-day Group of Seven summit set to start in Canada on Sunday. He hopes to brief opposition leaders about the tariff negotiations and gain their understanding, before the meeting with Trump. [Copyright The Jiji Press, Ltd.] Jiji Press

Thailand, Cambodia dial down tensions after clash in contested border area
Defense officials from Thailand and Cambodia have agreed to return their troops to positions they held before a fatal clash in a contested border area. Since last month's incident, both sides had been beefing up their military presence along the frontier. Military representatives from the two countries held a meeting over the issue on Sunday. After the talks, the Thai army said it will redeploy its soldiers to positions the two sides agreed on last year. Cambodia's defense ministry says it will send its forces to "appropriate areas" to reduce tensions. The countries' armed forces exchanged fire on May 28th. One Cambodian soldier died in the brief skirmish. The confrontation prompted Thailand to tighten border security with Cambodia. On Saturday, Bangkok said it will cut operating hours at some border crossings and limit tourism in both directions. The countries are set to hold more talks this weekend. Cambodia proposes taking the dispute to the International Court of Justice, but Thailand favors bilateral negotiations.
