The rapidly evolving situation on the Korean Peninsula and #US threats to free trade were likely agenda items as #China, #Japan and #SouthKorea sat down Wednesday (May 9) for their first trilateral summit in more than 2 years.

The meeting comes amid a flurry of developments on the Korean peninsula. North Korean leader #KimJongUn met Moon on April 27 and Chinese President #XiJinping earlier this week. U.S. Secretary of State #MikePompeo flew to Pyongyang, the North Korean capital, early Wednesday on an unannounced visit. Japanese Prime Minister #ShinzoAbe, in opening remarks, praised the efforts of Xi and South Korean President #MoonJaein. Abe and Moon are meeting with Chinese Premier #LiKeqiang, the No. 2 official after Xi.

The U.S. Secretary of State #MikePompeo is traveling to #NorthKorea, preparing for the upcoming meeting between President Donald #Trump and North Korea leader #KimJongUn. The chief U.S. diplomat is also on a mission, hoping to secure the release of three Americans detained by Pyongyang. Pompeo's latest trip to North Korea came just weeks after he met with Kim. Senior State Department officials traveling with Pompeo said Washington is taking a 'new and bold approach,' while continuing to consult closely with America's allies, including #Japan and #SouthKorea.

Pompeo's N. Korea Trip to Focus on 'Framework' for Upcoming Summit

#China said on Tuesday (May 8) that President #XiJinping had met with North Korean leader #KimJongUn in a northern Chinese port city. The unannounced meeting, held Monday and Tuesday in Dalian, was the second between the two men in recent weeks, following Kim's March visit to Beijing, his first since taking power six years ago.

China is #NorthKorea's only major ally, although trade between them has plummeted in recent months as Beijing enforces United Nations economic sanctions in response to the North's nuclear bomb and ballistic missile tests. The meeting between Xi and Kim comes as the North Korean leader prepares to hold a historic summit with U.S. President Donald #Trump.
