Leaders of South Korea, China and Japan will meet on May 27, 2024, in Seoul for their first trilateral talks since 2019. They will also have bilateral talks among themselves.
Leaders of South Korea, China and Japan will meet next week in Seoul for their first trilateral talks in more than four years to discuss how to revive their cooperation, South Korea’s presidential office said Thursday. Since their inaugural stand-alone trilateral summit in 2008, the three countries were supposed to hold such a meeting among their leaders every year.
Chinese President Xi Jinping will not be attending. Li and Kishida were scheduled to arrive in South Korea on Sunday. They were to meet Yoon bilaterally on Sunday afternoon before attending a welcoming dinner banquet with the South Korean president, Kim said. 'This summit will be a turning point for Korea, Japan and China to completely restore and normalize three-way cooperation systems,' Kim said.
South Korea and Japan are both key U.S. military allies, together hosting a total of 80,000 American troops on their territories. North Korea's advancing nuclear program and China's growing assertiveness in the region have forced South Korea and Japan to reinforce their trilateral security partnership with the United States. That has angered China and North Korea.
