Top diplomats of S. Korea, Japan, China to hold talks in Tokyo this week

The top diplomats of South Korea, Japan, and China are to hold talks this week in Tokyo.

Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yul will have a three-way meeting with his Japanese counterpart Takeshi Iwaya and Chinese counterpart Wang Yi on Saturday.

The talks come for the first time in more than a year, since November 2023.

The three sides are to assess the progress of trilateral cooperation since the their leaders' summit that took place in May last year, and exchange views on regional and international issues.

Cho is to hold one-on-one talks with his Japanese and Chinese counterparts as well with the key agenda to be about preparations for the 60th anniversary of the normalization of Seoul-Tokyo ties with Iwaya and the APEC summit with Wang.
