Japan, China, ROK should expand ties

We want to see the multilayered cooperative ties among three major Asian nations -Japan, China and the Republic of Korea (ROK) - continue to advance.

The foreign ministers of the three nations met in Tokyo on Saturday and agreed that a summit meeting of their leaders should be held in Japan in September.

Summit meetings of Japanese, Chinese and ROK leaders have so far been held on the sidelines of conferences of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. It will be first time that the three leaders have held a summit independently.
