Top diplomats set to meet to discuss China Japan South Korea summit
The foreign ministers of China, Japan and South Korea are preparing to meet this month for their first talks in nearly three years, in a bid to discuss a three-way summit.
Japanese media reported that the foreign ministers would probably meet in Seoul on March 21 and 22, while China's foreign ministry said it would be in late March. South Korea said a ministers' meeting is planned for this month, without confirming the dates.
"If the trilateral foreign ministers' meeting is held soon, it will undoubtedly give us the opportunity to re-establish the groundwork for trust-building and common prosperity," South Korea's deputy foreign minister Lee Kyung-soo said.
Lee hosted a meeting of his counterparts in Seoul on Wednesday, saying their goal was to make "preparations for a successful foreign ministers' meeting, upon which we may pave ways for the next step of trilateral cooperation".
