China’s top diplomat will seek to shore up ties with two U.S. allies next week, as the countdown to the end of President Donald Trump’s administration prompts a recalibration of Beijing’s relations with close neighbors.
Foreign Minister Wang Yi will visit Japan from Nov. 24-25, where he was set to meet Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga as well as his counterpart, Toshimitsu Motegi. Wang will subsequently travel to Seoul from Nov. 25-27 for talks that will include a meeting with Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha, South Korea’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
