Seoul : Leaders of South Korea, China and Japan are set to meet on Sunday and Monday in Seoul for summit meetings, resuming their trilateral dialogue for the first time since 2019.
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol will hold talks with Chinese Premier Li Qiang and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida at the presidential office later in the day and hold a trilateral session with the two leaders on Monday.
This marks the first three-way summit among the Asian countries since December 2019, after a hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic and strained Seoul-Tokyo relations over historical disputes.
During a bilateral meeting with Li, Yoon is expected to discuss ways to promote strategic communication and expand economic cooperation and trade, and exchange opinions on security issues.
The leaders are expected to explore cooperation in the economic, trade and health sectors while aiming to avoid conflict, as Seoul and Tokyo have aligned more closely with Washington amid its intensifying rivalry with Beijing.
