China, Japan and South Korea sought to revitalize cooperation on security and economic matters at their first formal three-way summit since 2019, with Premier Li Qiang looking to persuade his neighbors to work with Beijing on keeping supply chains stable.

Li asked Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol during their three-way talks Monday in Seoul to reject playing bloc politics and decoupling from China, the official Xinhua News Agency reported.
