Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and South Korea's Yun Byung Se met for talks Wednesday in Tokyo to discuss coordination in dealing with North Korea and promote regional cooperation on other issues, even as tensions remain between Japan and China due to a territorial dispute.
The talks, which started earlier in the day, marked the first time that foreign ministers of the three countries got together following the last such event held in Seoul back in March of 2015.
The foreign ministers' meeting comes amid diplomatic rows involving all three countries. China and Japan have been at odds over islands in the East China Sea, called Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China.
South Korean and Chinese ties have been frayed over Seoul's recent decision to deploy a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense battery on its soil. This drew strong objections from Beijing which worries that it can be targeted by the missile defense shield.
