The leaders of Japan, China and South Korea will hold a two-day summit in Tokyo from May 21 to discuss nuclear safety, disaster preparedness and other issues, Japan's government said Friday.
Japan's centre-left Prime Minister Naoto Kan will meet Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao and South Korean President Lee Myung-Bak in the annual three-way meeting, Japan's top government spokesman Yukio Edano told reporters.
"The summit aims to boost cooperation and dialogue in various fields between the leaders of the three countries that have a big responsibility for the stability and prosperity of the Asia-Pacific region," Edano said.
"During the upcoming summit, they will also discuss ways to strengthen cooperation in disaster prevention and nuclear safety in the wake of the Great East Japan Disaster," he said at a press conference.
The Northeast Asian three-way meetings on regional and global issues started in their current format in 2008. South Korea hosted the meeting last year.
This year's talks will come more than two months after the massive March 11 earthquake and tsunami brought Japan's worst post-war disaster and triggered an ongoing nuclear emergency that has sparked global concern.
