S. Korea closely watching possible US-China-Russia summit: vice FM

The South Korean government is closely monitoring the potential for a trilateral summit involving the United States, China, and Russia during the upcoming Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit next week, according to a senior official. First Vice Foreign Minister Park Yoon-joo stated this during a parliamentary foreign affairs and unification committee session, responding to a question from Rep. Park Sung-joon of the ruling Democratic Party about the likelihood of such a meeting.

Park emphasized that the possibility of discussing issues related to the Korean Peninsula during the summit cannot be dismissed.

Recent reports from foreign media suggest that discussions are underway regarding a potential first-ever trilateral meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump, Chinese President Xi Jinping, and Russian President Vladimir Putin. This summit is expected to take place on the sidelines of the APEC summit, scheduled for November 18-19 in the Chinese city of Shenzhen. The lawmaker noted the strategic value and leverage that North Korea holds in these deliberations.
