The leaders of China, Japan and South Korea met in Singapore on
Tuesday to strengthen trilateral cooperation.
Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda
and South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun attended the 8th meeting of
leaders of the three countries.
At the meeting, the three sides were expected to make concrete
proposals on strengthening cooperation, particularly in the fields
of environmental protection, science and technology, culture and
youth exchanges.
The three leaders might also touch on the nuclear issue on the
Korean Peninsula when they discuss regional and international
issues, a Chinese Foreign Ministry official said.
The last trilateral meeting was held in January this year in
Cebu, the second largest city of the Philippines, during which the
three leaders reached consensus on improving political trust among
the three East Asian countries.
