Fukushiro Nukaga, a lawmaker in the ruling Liberal Democraticparty and secretary-general of the Japan-South Korea lawmakers’ league, met Park Geun Hye, incoming South Korean president, in Seoul on Friday and handed her a letter from the Japanesepremier.
日本执政党自民党(LDP)议员、日韩议员联盟总干事额贺福志郎(Fukushiro Nukaga)周五在首尔与韩国候任总统朴槿惠(Park Geun Hye)会面，转交了日本首相的一封信。
Mr Abe told Mr Nukaga, a former finance minister, to convey the message that “South Korea isJapan’s most important neighbour, with which we share values such as democracy and marketcapitalism”, according to Japanese media.
据日本媒体报道，安倍指示额贺福志郎向朴槿惠转达一条消息，即“韩国是日本最为重要的邻邦，与日本有着相同的价值观，比如民主和市场资本主义”。
“Since both countries have new governments, I would like us to make a good start to ourrelationship”, Mr Abe said.
安倍表示：“两国都有了新的政府，希望我们能让彼此之间的关系有个好的开始。”
Relations between two of Asia’s largest economies became strained last summer after Lee Myung-bak, South Korean president, visited the disputed islands, an incident that led Japan’s thenDemocratic government to recall its ambassador to Seoul.
韩国总统李明博(Lee Myung-bak)去年夏天访问韩日争议岛屿，导致日本当时的民主党政府召回驻韩大使。亚洲两个主要经济体之间的关系随后变得紧张。
Japan, South Korea and North Korea claim sovereignty over the islands, which are controlled bySouth Korea.
日本、韩国和朝鲜都声称对争议岛屿拥有主权。目前这些岛屿在韩国控制之下。
Mr Lee’s visit also put strains on the two countries’ increasing military co-operation and financialties.
李明博访问争议岛屿的举动，还打击了韩日两国原本日趋紧密的军事合作和金融关系。

In October, Japan and South Korea cut back the size of a currency-swap agreement, a financialsafety net aimed at stabilising the Korean won in case of external shocks, such as the eurozonecrisis.
去年10月，日本和韩国削减了货币互换协议的规模。该货币互换协议是一个金融保护网，目的在于在遭遇外部冲击（比如欧元区危机）时稳定韩元。
Mr Abe’s latest efforts to reach out to South Korea are in stark contrast to his rhetoric beforetaking office after the LDP won a landslide victory in national elections last month.
安倍这次主动接触韩国的举动，与他在竞选期间发表的言论形成鲜明对照。日本自民党在去年12月的大选中获得压倒性的胜利，安倍随后上台执政。
