Park Cheol-hee, President of the Korea National Diplomatic Academy, emphasized that the upcoming Korea-Japan-China summit meeting to be held in Seoul on the 26th and 27th "could serve as a foundation for easing tensions between the United States and China."

On the 23rd (local time), Park published a special article titled "Korea's Role as a Facilitator of Cooperation among the Three Northeast Asian Countries" at the Washington-based think tank Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), stating this.

Park said, "The Korea-Japan-China trilateral summit is a well-designed multilateral cooperative framework where Northeast Asian issues can be discussed," adding, "Within the trilateral cooperation framework, Korea, Japan, and China can enhance bilateral communication and cooperation."

He also said, "It can send a signal to North Korea that the three countries are willing to work together for peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula."

He further mentioned, "This Korea-Japan-China summit is very important for restoring and deepening mutual trust among the three countries," and "It can also demonstrate that many issues can be resolved through dialogue and diplomacy."

Park added, "If cooperation is strengthened in applicable functional areas such as environmental protection, health, cross-border crime prevention, and supply chains among the three countries, it will provide practical benefits not only to the peoples of the three countries but also to the international community."
