China, Japan and South Korea will hold a summit in South Korea when Chinese Premier Li Keqiang visits, for the first such meeting since they were discontinued in 2012 due to tension dating back to World War Two. The summit would be on Nov. 1 in Seoul. Chinese Premier Li Keqiang visits, South Korea from Oct. 31 to Nov. 2.
South Korean President Park Geun-hye would meet Li on Oct. 31 in Seoul. The dates for the trilateral summit or Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s visit have not been announced. The neighbors have been moving to improve ties, holding a foreign ministers’ meeting in March and trying to restore what had been a regular forum at the summit level to discuss cooperation.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has met Chinese President Xi Jinping twice since November 2014. But Abe has not had a one-on-one summit with Park since taking office in December 2012.
The summit, held annually since 2008, was discontinued amid diplomatic tension between Japan and South Korea stemming both from the war and a territorial dispute. South Korea had demanded Japan do more to compensate Korean women forced into prostitution in Japanese brothels during wartime.
