Yomiuri claimed that the chances are high that Prime Minister Abe will not be able to convene a trilateral summit with Chinese Premier Li and ROK President Park in Japan next month given that the South Korean leader will probably be impeached. Although Seoul may consider sending Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn instead of the embattled president, Premier Li would probably choose not to visit Japan if that is the case. Some GOJ officials are proposing a postponement of the trilateral session until next January or later.
