Chinese Premier Li Qiang and his South Korean host, President Yoon Suk-yeol, have agreed to launch a diplomatic and security dialogue and resume talks on a free trade agreement a day before their trilateral summit with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.
The meeting of the three leaders on Monday is their first three-way talks in more than four years. It comes as South Korea and Japan have been working to mend ties frayed by historical disputes while deepening a trilateral security partnership with the United States amid intensifying China-US rivalry.
