When the Republic of Korea was invited to the Japan World Exposition 1970, the Korean government first urged the Japanese government to exclude North Korea from the Expo. After North Korea was excluded from the Expo, the Korean government was officially invited to participate in the Expo. The Korean government hoped to showcase its economic development and traditional culture of Republic of Korea. At the time, Republic of Korea and Japan were closely cooperating economically, but there were also a number of issues that needed to be resolved, including a trade imbalance. The Japanese government did not allow North Korean businessmen to visit Japan during the Japan World Exposition 1970, considering the Korean government's stance. However, after North Korea's cooperation in solving the hijacking of the Yodo-go, there were some who felt that Japan should allow the North Korean delegation to visit the Expo. Japan needed to consider its relationship with North Korea for its own security, but it stuck to its policy of not allowing the North Korean delegation to visit Japan because of the security situation in Republic of Korea. At the Japan World Exposition 1970 which excluded North Korea, Republic of Korea actively promoted tourist information projects to enhance economic benefits. Japan cooperated with Republic of Korea, which sought to address its security concerns by preventing North Korea participating in the Expo, and against this background, cultural diplomacy between Republic of Korea and Japan developed and a tourism base began to be built. Therefore, the Japan World Exposition 1970 is significant in that it presented the possibility of developing cultural tourism exchange and security cooperation between Republic of Korea and Japan.
