South Korea, Japan, China Resume High-Level Talks After Four-Year Hiatus

Senior leaders from the three nations meet in Seoul to address economic cooperation and regional stability amid ongoing geopolitical tensions.

The summit marks the first trilateral meeting since 2019, paused due to the pandemic and diplomatic frictions.
Economic and trade discussions are expected to dominate, with a focus on sustainable development and people-to-people exchanges.
China seeks to reestablish dialogue with Japan and South Korea, excluding the United States from the forum.
South Korea and Japan's closer ties with the US and stance on Taiwan add complexity to the talks.
No major breakthroughs are anticipated, but the resumption of dialogue is seen as a positive step.
