The three-way talks are seen as an attempt to ease Beijing's concerns over Washington's deepening security ties with Tokyo and Seoul.
SEOUL — South Korea was hosting a rare meeting on Tuesday with senior diplomats from Japan and China, the foreign ministry said.
But Tuesday's meeting would explore potential cooperation between Seoul, Tokyo, and Beijing, and also consider the possibility of resuming long-stalled leaders' summits, South Korea's foreign ministry said.No other leaders' summit has since been held because of diplomatic and historical disputes between Seoul and Tokyo, in part linked to Japan's colonial rule over the Korean peninsula from 1910-1945.
Beijing, Seoul's biggest trading partner, is also North Korea's most important ally and economic benefactor.
