South Korea reaffirmed its intention to join the trans-Pacific trade pact during summit talks between President Lee Jae Myung and Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, an official said Wednesday.

South Korea's National Security Adviser Wi Sung-lac said the two sides will continue discussions on Seoul’s accession to the 12-member Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, according to Seoul-based Yonhap News.

The two sides also discussed Seoul’s longstanding ban on seafood imports from eight Japanese provinces, imposed in 2013 in the wake of the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster.
