The leaders of South Korea, China, and Japan are scheduled to hold summit meetings in Seoul on Sunday and Monday, marking the first trilateral dialogue since 2019. President Yoon Suk Yeol will engage in individual discussions with Chinese Premier Li Qiang and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, followed by a trilateral session on Monday. These meetings come after a pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic and strained relations between Seoul and Tokyo over historical disputes. During the talks, President Yoon is expected to address strategic communication, economic cooperation, trade, and security issues with Chinese Premier Li, and discuss practical cooperation and trilateral collaboration with Japanese Prime Minister Kishida. The agenda for Monday includes discussions on areas such as economy and trade, sustainable development, health, science and technology, disaster management, and people-to-people exchanges. The leaders aim to boost cooperation while navigating their respective alignments with Washington amid its rivalry with Beijing. Although differences on North Korea and regional security may persist, the summit is viewed as a crucial step in reviving trilateral dialogue and enhancing collaboration in key sectors. In conclusion, the upcoming trilateral summit serves as a "turning point" for rebuilding and advancing practical cooperation among the three countries, as emphasized by Principal Deputy National Security Adviser Kim Tae-hyo.
