Japan-China-South Korea Summit begins to confirm cooperation to resolve North Korea's denuclearization, December 24 11:19
Prime Minister Abe, who is visiting China, is in a trilateral summit with Prime Minister Li Keqiang and South Korean President Moon Jae-in to address the issue of denuclearization and abductions of North Korea. I want to check the cooperation.
The summit meeting of the three countries, China, Korea and South Korea, will begin in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China, around 11 am Japan time, and will be attended by Prime Minister Abe, Prime Minister Li Keqiang and South Korean President Moon Jane. This is the eighth summit meeting since it was held in Tokyo last May for the first time in about one year and seven months.
At the summit meeting, Prime Minister Abe exchanged opinions on North Korea's increasing provocative attitude ahead of the end of the year, which is the deadline for denuclearization negotiations with the United States, and discussed North Korea's denuclearization and trajectory. I would like to confirm the cooperation of the three countries for the disposal of missiles and the early solution of the abduction issue.
It seems that it is important that the international community work together to support the US-North Korea process.
He pointed out the importance of promoting free trade in the economic field, calling for a Japan-China-Korea FTA = Free Trade Agreement and RCEP = Cooperation for the early conclusion of a comprehensive economic partnership in East Asia. The three leaders will announce the results of the meeting together.
In the afternoon, Prime Minister Abe will have a meeting with President Moon for the first time in a year and three months since September last year.
