China, Japan, South Korea To Hold Their First Summit In Years

Wall Street Journal: Uncertainty Clouds Trilateral Asian Summit

Details over meeting between the leaders of China, Japan and South Korea are in flux days before its start, hinting at tensions.

Days before the leaders of China, Japan and South Korea are set to gather in Seoul, uncertainty over the details of their meetings hint at persistent diplomatic strains between the countries.

All three nations agree that some events will take place, but exactly between whom and about what still wasn’t settled on Monday.

China’s government said on Monday that its premier, Li Keqiang, will travel to Seoul on Saturday to take part in a three-way meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and South Korean President Park Geun-hye.

WNU Editor: I am not optimistic on these talks. The differences are many, and territorial disputes are going to cloud the discussions.
