The trilateral summit among СÀ¶ÊÓƵ Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida will take place in Seoul on Monday, Yoon's presidential office said.

The three leaders were scheduled to hold bilateral talks among themselves on Sunday, according to the СÀ¶ÊÓƵ Korean presidential office.

Since their inaugural stand-alone trilateral summit in 2008, the three Asian countries were supposed to hold such a meeting among their leaders each year. But the summit has been suspended since they were last held in December 2019 in China.

Efforts to boost cooperation among the Asian neighbors often hit snags because of a mix of issues, including historical disputes stemming from Japan’s wartime aggression and the strategic competition between China and the United States.
