Moon Jae-in would have had his first summit with Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga during the trip to Tokyo for the Games. South Korean President Moon Jae-in's (pictured) meeting with Yoshihide Suga in Tokyo was called off after a Japanese diplomat described his attempts to improve relations as 'masturbating'. Moon's office said it turned 'skeptical' about his potential trip after the Japanese diplomat's 'unacceptable' comment. Prime Minister Suga declined to comment on Moon's decision, but described the Japanese diplomat's remarks as 'inappropriate.' Moon's office said it took note of Kato's comment, but called for Tokyo to take steps to prevent such a situation from recurring.
