Japan, China and South Korea have made final agreements to hold a trilateral summit in South Korea at the end of May, probably on May 26 and 27. It will be the first such meeting in almost four and a half years, since a meeting in December 2019 in the Chinese city of Chengdu.
Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, Chinese Premier Li Qiang and South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, who will chair the meeting, are expected to discuss regional affairs, including North Korea, and economic cooperation.
At a trilateral meeting in South Korea in November, the countries’ foreign ministers reaffirmed their cooperation in holding an early-stage Japan-China-South Korea summit.
