South Korea, Japan, and China have agreed to restart trilateral summits and revive cooperation, marking the first meeting of the top diplomats from these countries in about four years.
The three countries, which together account for about 25% of the global GDP, have agreed to push for diverse cooperation projects in areas such as trade, technology, public health, sustainable development, and security.
Despite the agreement, no specific timing has been set for the trilateral summit, suggesting that it may not happen this year.
South Korea and Japan, key U.S. military allies, have recently pushed to beef up trilateral security cooperation with the United States, a move that has angered China.
South Korea, Japan, and the U.S. held maritime drills involving the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier near the Korean Peninsula, their latest show of force against North Korea.
