President Lee Calls for Trilateral Cooperation Between China, South Korea, and Japan During Summit with Prime Minister Takaichi

President Lee and Prime Minister Takaichi continue to appear to get along quite well. Hopefully this continues:

President Lee Jae Myung said Tuesday he has emphasized the need for trilateral cooperation among Seoul, Tokyo and Beijing as he held summit talks with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, amid heightened diplomatic tensions between Japan and China. 

“I emphasized the need for the three Northeast Asian countries — Korea, Japan and China — to identify as much common ground as possible in order to communicate and cooperate,” Lee said in a joint press announcement after the summit. 

The summit talks with Takaichi came after Lee held summit talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing earlier this month, at a time when tensions have been running high between Beijing and Tokyo over Takaichi’s remarks on Taiwan.

You can read more at the link, but it appears Lee is trying to position himself as a mediator between Beijing and Tokyo. I doubt Lee will influence China in anyway in regards to Japan. Taiwan is one of those issues where the CCP shows no flexibility and will always overreact on.
