Following the trilateral meeting in Tokyo, the foreign ministers of China, Japan, and South Korea emphasized the need for strengthened cooperation to provide regional stability. They highlighted the positive outcomes of their framework over the past two decades and the importance of deeper cooperation to withstand global challenges.
Key discussions focused on restarting the trilateral free trade agreement, expanding regional partnerships, and maintaining stable supply chains. They also agreed to enhance multilateral cooperation through existing mechanisms and promote inclusive economic globalization.
The meeting set a positive tone for future cooperation, including the upcoming Year of Cultural Exchange and a goal to increase people-to-people exchanges. While acknowledging challenges, the ministers emphasized the importance of respecting core interests and managing disputes for stable and sustainable cooperation.

Regional cooperation is essential. I support their effort to maintain stable supply chains.

Free trade agreements are just a way for corporations to exploit workers and damage the environment. I don't see anything to celebrate here.

This 'inclusive economic globalization' sounds like a thinly veiled attempt to enrich the elite while the average person gets left behind.

This is a necessary step for addressing global challenges like climate change and pandemics.
