China’s second-highest official has urged Japan and South Korea to reject protectionism and uphold globalisation as the countries commenced their first trilateral summit in nearly five years.
Chinese Premier Li Qiang made the remarks on Monday during a meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and South Korean President Yoon Yeok-seol in Seoul, marking their first three-way meeting since December 2019.
Although the three leaders aim to promote greater economic cooperation during the summit, the agenda has been overshadowed by North Korea’s announcement of its plan to launch a satellite into orbit between 27 May and 4 June.
