Leaders from China, Japan, and South Korea on Tuesday (December 24) pledged to deepen cooperation at a trilateral summit in China's southwest city of Chengdu.
Chinese Premier Li Keqiang said that the meeting would further strengthen mutual trust in order to ensure region security and stability. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and South Korean President Moon Jae-in also pledged to strengthen cooperation.
Though various economic matters will also be on the agenda - as well as tensions between Seoul and Tokyo - North Korea appears likely to dominate the agenda.
