Trilateral summit needed for regional cooperation

The resumption of trilateral talks between China, Japan and the Republic of Korea marks a significant step forward in East Asia cooperation and is another sign of the thaw in ties between Beijing and Tokyo.

The trilateral summit is scheduled to be held in Seoul on Nov 1, according to a Japanese media report.

The upcoming trilateral talks are a golden opportunity to break the deadlock in trilateral cooperation and promote trilateral interaction, which is essential for the countries' own economic growth and that of the region at large.
