国内英语资讯:China-Japan-ROK leaders meeting bolsters mutual trust, trilateral cooperation

The three countries also strengthened in-depth exchanges and cooperation on common challenges in such fields as environmental protection, health and aging population, which will bring benefits to their people.

Lucio Blanco Pitlo, a lecturer with the Chinese Studies Program at Ateneo de Manila University, said the meeting provided an important platform for communication among the three countries in Northeast Asia.

Amid profound changes taking place in the international landscape, the leaders of China, Japan and the ROK agreed to further promote cooperation, manage differences, uphold free trade and multilateralism and realize the complete denuclearization of the Korean peninsula and lasting peace in the region, Lucio said.

As the world is fogged by surging uncertainties, further promoting trilateral cooperation among the three countries is conducive to regional peace and stability, as well as global prosperity and development, Lucio added.

Bambang Suryono, an Indonesian scholar and president of the Jakarta-based think tank Nanyang ASEAN Foundation, said the successful holding of the 8th China-Japan-ROK leaders' meeting marks a new starting point for cooperation among China, Japan and the ROK, and has positive effects on the economic prosperity, security and stability of the region and even the world.

Against the backdrop of the rising trade protectionism, the three countries have strengthened cooperation and jointly safeguarded free trade, which will play a major role in stabilizing global economic development and maintaining the trade order, Suryono noted.
