Bank of Korea Gov. Lee Ju-yeol will also attend the gathering.
The policymakers from the three countries will exchange views on the recent trends in the global and regional financial markets and discuss ways to increase policy coordination in Northeast Asia as trade protectionism is spreading across the world led by the United States, the ministry said.
Meanwhile, the top officials will also attend the ASEAN+3 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors' Meeting on the same day. (Yonhap)
