The sixth China-Japan-South Korea leaders' meeting started here on Sunday, resuming the trilateral cooperation mechanism after a three-and-a-half-year suspension.


Chinese Premier Li Keqiang, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and South Korean President Park Geun-hye are expected to exchange views on trilateral cooperation and address issues of regional interest, Xinhua news agency reported.

They are also scheduled to jointly meet with the press and attend a business summit.
