Chinese Premier Li Qiang arrived in Seoul on Sunday to attend the ninth trilateral summit meeting of China, Japan and the Republic of Korea (ROK).

Li and the leaders of Japan and the ROK will attend key events, including the trilateral summit meeting and the China-Japan-South Korea business summit, where they will exchange views on trilateral cooperation, according to the Chinese Foreign Ministry.

China expects the summit meeting to inject new impetus into the trilateral cooperation and provide better ways toward mutual benefit for the three countries, the ministry's spokesperson Wang Wenbin said at a press briefing on Thursday.

"China stands ready to work with Japan and the ROK to implement the Trilateral Cooperation Vision for the Next Decade and other important common understandings, deepen economic and trade, sci-tech and cultural cooperation to advance regional economic integration in East Asia and promote regional and global peace, stability and prosperity," said Wang.

The trilateral summit resumes more than four years after it was last held in 2019.
