China, South Korea and Japan have agreed to restore their trilateral meeting among their respective foreign ministers later this month in Seoul.

Chinese vice Foreign Minister Liu Zhenmin has made the announcement, saying the upcoming meeting follows a two year suspension.

Liu says the impending talks will cover a wide range of fields to promote regional prosperity and stability.

The trilateral talks were suspended in 2013 amid tensions over territorial and historical disputes.
