China is willing to make efforts with both South Korea and Japan to promote the resumption of trilateral cooperation, Chinese top diplomat said at the trilateral foreign ministers' meeting between China, Japan and South Korea which was held in the South Korean city of Bushan on Sunday. Chinese experts believe the meeting, held after a hiatus of four years, will not only pave way for higher-level meetings between the three Asian countries, but will also inject stability in the region and shore up the three countries' cooperation to offset the negative consequences of the current challenges from the global turmoil.
