China, Japan and South Korean leaders met today in Seoul

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, Chinese Premier Li Qiang, and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida met. These were the first three-way talks in four years.

The communications out of the summit are fairly saccharine and non-controversial, as you’d expect. Who know what went on behind closed doors.

Chinese Premier Li Qiang:

• praised the ‘restart’ in relations
• called to revive trade
  and security dialogues
• may agree to resume three-party free trade agreement negotiations

There were similar sentiments from the Japanese and South Korean leaders, who also expressed concerns over North Korea.
