Japan, the United States and South Korea will hold a trilateral summit meeting in May on the sidelines of the Group of Seven gathering to be held in Hiroshima.
Discussions are focusing on the most appropriate timing for a meeting between Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, U.S. President Joe Biden and South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol, who has been invited to attend the G-7 summit meeting, according to several sources in the Japanese and South Korean governments.
Biden strongly requested the three-way meeting to discuss North Korea’s continuing provocations concerning frequent launches of ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons development.
The last time the three leaders met was in November in Phnom Penh on the sidelines of an ASEAN summit meeting.
Seoul’s announcement in March to resolve the issue of compensation to Korean wartime laborers has greatly improved its ties with Tokyo, leading to Yoon visiting Japan later that month.
