Korea for trilateral meeting since 2019
SEOUL, May 26: Chinese and Japanese leaders were set to arrive in Seoul and meet with South Korea's president separately on Sunday, a day before they gather for their first trilateral meeting in more than four years. No major announcement is expected from Monday's trilateral South Korea-China-Japan meeting. But just resuming their highest-level, three-way talks is a good sign and suggests the three Asian neighbors are intent on improving their relations. A trilateral leaders' meeting was supposed to take place annually following their inaugural gathering in 2008. — AP
