While a trilateral meeting between Japan, South Korea, and the US is reportedly planned for July 2024, efforts are reportedly still underway to restart once-regular trilateral meetings between the leaders of China, Japan, and South Korea, though December 2023 came and went despite South Korea having reportedly proposed a meeting for that month (Economist, Global Times, US News & World Report, Deutsche Welle). The location of the meeting is immaterial, so long as all three leaders are in the same room. A meeting held in concert with another event (e.g., G20 summit, state visit) would count so long as a meeting is held with the three leaders among themselves and their own respective entourages. For the purposes of this question, the leaders of Japan and South Korea are the prime minister and president, respectively, and a meeting without either leader would not count. As of the launch of this question, Li Qiang was the incumbent Premier of China, and Xi Jinping was the incumbent President of China. A meeting without either China's premier or president would not count, and a meeting with both China's premier and president would close "and the President of China will represent China."
