The leaders of South Korea, China and Japan will meet next week for the first time since 2019.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korean media reports that the leaders of South Korea, China and Japan will meet next week in Seoul for their first trilateral negotiations since 2019.

Yonhap News Agency reported Thursday that the trilateral summit between South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, Chinese Premier Li Qiang and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida will be held in Seoul on Monday.

Other South Korean media outlets published similar reports citing the South Korean presidential office.

Since their first independent trilateral summit in 2008, the three Asian countries were supposed to hold such a meeting between their leaders every year. But the summit has been suspended since 2019.
