Top government officials from South Korea, China and Japan will meet in Seoul next month to seek ways to promote logistics.

The trilateral meeting will open in Seoul on September 7 and will focus on sharing information on logistics and resolving related issues.

Minister for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Kim Sung-jin announced Thursday that the upcoming meeting will particularly concentrate on securing safety for marine transportation, harbors and open waters.

The three countries will adopt a joint statement on cooperation in the logistics field after concluding the meeting.

The government, meanwhile, plans to regularize the three-way talks and also seek to have a private group organize an international forum on logistics.
