SEOUL/TOKYO (Reuters) -&nbsp;Japanese&nbsp;Finance&nbsp;Minister Shunichi Suzuki and&nbsp;South&nbsp;Korean&nbsp;Finance&nbsp;Minister Choo Kyung-ho will meet on&nbsp;June&nbsp;29&nbsp;in Tokyo for the&nbsp;next&nbsp;bilateral&nbsp;meeting, almost two months after the first talk between the two countries' financial leaders in seven years.
Japan's top financial diplomat Masato Kanda and&nbsp;South&nbsp;Korea's Deputy Minister for International Affairs Kim Seong-wook met in Seoul on Thursday through Friday and agreed on the schedule, both ministries said on Friday.
The tentative&nbsp;meeting&nbsp;agenda includes discussion on the global and regional economies, cooperation in G20 and follow-up of G7's dialogue with partner countries, infrastructure investments in third countries, bilateral and regional financial cooperation, and other possible cooperation on areas such as taxes and customs, according to the ministries.
It will follow the&nbsp;ministers' bilateral talk that took place in early May on the sidelines of the Asian Development Bank&nbsp;meeting&nbsp;held in Incheon,&nbsp;South&nbsp;Korea, during which they agreed to resume their regular dialogue.
Icy relations between the Asian neighours are slowly thawing as they seek to counter increasing security threats from North&nbsp;Korea&nbsp;and an ascendant China.
