Chinese President Xi Jinping and South Korean Prime Minister Han Duck-soo could meet soon on the sidelines of a sporting event this weekend, Yonhap News reported, as Seoul looks to revive a stalled three-way summit that also includes Japan.
Han leaves for China on Saturday to attend the opening ceremony of the Asian Games in Hangzhou and is likely to meet Xi before the event that day, Yonhap reported, citing a government official speaking on the condition of anonymity. Han’s office declined to comment on reports of a possible meeting and any timing for talks.
South Korea is working to revive a three-way summit with Japan and China — those talks last happened in 2019 and then stalled, initially due to the Covid-19 pandemic and then political tensions. South Korea’s ambassador to Tokyo said in an interview this week that high-level talks are underway for the summit to happen this year, noting that this wouldn’t affect Seoul’s ties with Washington.
