▶️ Japanese PM Shinzo Abe and South Korean President Moon Jae-in hold their first meeting in the Chinese city of Chengdu, Tuesday, December 24.

👉 China hosted a three-way summit with South Korea and Japan aimed at presenting a united front to counter North Korea's resurgent belligerence.

The trilateral meeting also was held amid an escalating dispute between Seoul and Tokyo over recent court rulings in South Korea ordering Japanese companies to compensate Koreans who were forced to work in Japanese plants during World War Two.

Many South Koreans remain bitter over Japan's brutal military rule of the Korean peninsula that lasted from 1910 until 1945, when Japan surrendered to Allied forces to end the war. Hundreds of thousands of Koreans were subjected to numerous atrocities during the occupation, including the so-called "comfort women" who were forced into sexual slavery in Japanese military brothels.

The trilateral meeting occurred two days ahead of a so-called "Christmas gift" from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Kim is demanding new concessions from the United States by the end of the year in exchange for restarting the stalled negotiations aimed at getting the North to abandon its nuclear program.

In his opening remarks, President Moon said the increased tensions "in no way benefits either of our countries or North Korea."

I can’t stop complimenting Moon-Jae. Give the man the Best President’s award! I still remember when he took the time to spend a hour or so with a Student named Joon. It was very touching.
