Japan, the United States and South Korea are planning to hold talks between their foreign ministers, according to Japanese government officials. Discussions would be held on the sidelines of the Group of 20 foreign ministers' meeting taking place in Bali, Indonesia, on Thursday and Friday.
The trilateral foreign ministerial meeting is expected to discuss how to deal with North Korea's nuclear and missile development programs.
If realized, the meeting will be the first between the three countries since talks were held in Hawaii in February. The envisaged meeting will be attended by Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and South Korean Foreign Minister Park Jin. It will be the first time for Park to join a meeting with his Japanese and U.S. counterparts following the inauguration of the new South Korean administration in May.
