The '''Treaty on Basic Relations between Japan and the Republic of Korea''' ([[Japanese]]: 日韓基本条約 ''Nikkan Kihon Jōyaku'' [[Hangul]]: 한일기본조약 ''Hanil Gibon Joyak'') was signed on 22 June, 1965 to establish a basic relationship between [[Japan]] and the [[South Korea|Republic of Korea]].

The signing of the treaty ended a five-year process that took place between 1961 and 1965, aimed at normalising relations between Japan and South Korea. The signing of the treaty boosted the Korean economy, as Japan pledged close to $800 million in grants and soft loans, as compensation for its colonial rule between 1910 and 1945. However, it also ended the possibility of Koreans making any further claims on the Japanese government for compensation for abuses committed during the occupation.
