Foreign Ministers From China, Japan and South Korea Meet In Seoul To Discuss Improving Ties And Reducing Tensions



BBC: China, Japan and South Korea hold renewed talks

The foreign ministers of China, Japan and South Korea have met for their first talks in three years.

The meeting in Seoul is thought to have focused on ways to ease tensions over territorial and diplomatic disputes.

The ministers agreed to organise a "trilateral summit" for their leaders "at the earliest convenient time".

The three states have strong economic ties but relations still suffer from unresolved issues dating back to Japan's actions in World War Two.

South Korea's Yun Byung-se welcomed Fumio Kishida from Japan and Wang Yi from China to South Korea's capital on Saturday.
