The foreign ministers of China, Japan and South Korea will discuss holding the first leaders’ summit in three years as Asia’s biggest economies seek to overcome tensions over territorial disputes and Japan’s war legacy.
The foreign ministers from the three countries will meet some time this month in Seoul, South Korean Deputy Foreign Minister Lee Kyung Soo said Tuesday after a meeting with his Chinese and Japanese counterparts. A summit meeting this year would coincide with the 70th anniversary of the end of WWII and Japan’s occupation of its neighbors.
