Chinese Premier Li Qiang, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida will meet for the first trilateral talks in four years, reports Reuters.
The meeting will take place on Monday, May 27, in Seoul. These are the first talks in four years during which the countries will seek to revive dialogues on trade and security.
The summit comes a day after the leaders of the countries met separately for bilateral talks with each other. In previous meetings, Li and Yoon agreed to diplomatic dialogue and security dialogue. They also resumed free trade negotiations. Meanwhile, Kishida and the Chinese premier discussed Taiwan and agreed to hold a new round of high-level bilateral economic dialogue.
In addition, Yoon called on China to play a constructive role with its partners in North Korea, which is expanding its nuclear weapons and missile arsenal in violation of UN Security Council resolutions.
Earlier, RBC-Ukraine reported that China announced the completion of two-day military exercises around Taiwan. During these exercises, the People's Liberation Army of China simulated attacks with bombers.
