CRI听力:China-Japan-South Korea Leaders Holds Talks in Seoul

This weekend's China-Japan-South Korea leaders' meetings have taken place in Seoul.

The session today resumes a trilateral mechanism which had been shelved for the past 3.5-years because of historical and territorial issues.

Following their just-concluded talks, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and South Korean President Park Geun-hye have all agreed to resume holding trilateral summits on a regular basis.

Premier Li Keqiang has also called for speedier negotiations for a trilateral Free Trade Agreement.

The Chinese Premier also says future cooperation needs to be based on the proper-handling of historic, territorial and other sensitive issues.

Meanwhile, Japanese Prime Shino Abe hopes to use outcome of this trilateral summit as a starting point when he hosts the next meeting this coming year.

Premier Li Keqiang has also held separate sessions with Park Geun-hye and Shino Abe.

All three are also attending a business summit as part of their time together.

For more on the resumption of the summit and some of the breakthroughs, CRI's Wang Mengzhen earlier spoke with Professor Shen Dingli with Fudan University.
