Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, South Korean President Moon Jae-in and Chinese Premier Li Keqiang are meeting in Tokyo today for the first trilateral summit since 2015. As the host of the meeting, Abe said that “for our three nations, building future-oriented cooperative relations is extremely important for the region as a whole.” And he urged the three nations to “stay in close touch with international society and demand that North Korea take concrete moves” on denuclearization.
China’s Li expressed the willingness to “work with Japan and South Korea to jointly maintain regional stability and push forward the development of the three countries.” Separately, China is set to sign a currency swap agreement with Japan, and grant the country a quota of Renminbi Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors (RQFII) for investments.
