Trilateral efforts urged to embark on new journey

Premier Li Qiang has underlined the need for China, Japan and the Republic of Korea to accelerate trilateral cooperation to embark on a new journey of all-around development and make greater contributions to regional prosperity and stability.

Li made the remarks on Monday while addressing the ninth China-Japan-ROK Trilateral Summit Meeting in Seoul. Boosting economic ties among the key regional players topped the meeting agenda.

During the meeting, Li, together with ROK President Yoon Suk-yeol and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, revived the trilateral dialogue that had been suspended for over four years due to the COVID-19 pandemic and disputes among the Asian neighbors.
