Seoul, Beijing, Tokyo FMs agree to maintain cooperation

By Tony Chang

SHANGHAI, Sept. 28 (Yonhap) -- Top diplomats from South Korea, China, and Japan agreed Monday to further bolster three-way exchanges and cooperative projects.

South Korean Foreign Minister Yu Myung-hwan, Japan's newly named Foreign Minister
Katsuya Okada and their Chinese counterpart, Yang Jiechi, met here for the third
annual trilateral talks.
In a joint press statement released by the Chinese foreign minister, the three
countries agreed on the need to maintain "comprehensive cooperations in a
future-oriented manner."
The three countries launched the ministerial talks in 2007 and have since taken
turns hosting, with the inaugural gathering held on South Korea's resort island
of Jeju and the second session in Tokyo last year.
