(Yonhap)Vice foreign ministers from South Korea, the United States, and Japan are set to engage in trilateral talks this week. The discussions will focus on strengthening cooperation on North Korean issues and economic security, as announced by Seoul’s foreign ministry on Wednesday.

According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, South Korea’s First Vice Foreign Minister Park Yoon-joo, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau, and Japanese Vice Foreign Minister Takehiro Funakoshi will convene in Japan on Friday.

This upcoming meeting follows their previous talks held in Seoul last October, approximately nine months ago. It also marks the first such gathering since President Lee Jae Myung took office and the inauguration of the new U.S. administration under President Donald Trump.

The ministry’s press release indicates that the three parties plan to engage in comprehensive and in-depth discussions. Topics will include the current situation on the Korean Peninsula, regional dynamics, economic security, technology, energy, and strategies to enhance trilateral cooperation.

On the sidelines of the trilateral meeting, Park is scheduled to hold separate one-on-one talks with his U.S. and Japanese counterparts, the ministry added.

During their October meeting, the three nations jointly condemned North Korea’s nuclear and missile threats and agreed to bolster their security cooperation. (Yonhap)
