South Korea's foreign minister Kang Kyung-wha will purportedly be meeting her newly-appointed Japanese counterpart Toshimitsu Motegi later this week.
An unnamed source said the meeting will happen on Thursday in New York on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
If realized, the two will likely discuss ongoing disputes on histotical issues, as well as trade.
Kang will also meet her Chinese counterpart on Wednesday morning to discuss issues on the Korean peninsula.
Meanwhile, an official at Seoul's foreign ministry says there are no plans yet of a Seoul-Washington foreign ministers' meeting, or a three-way sit-down with the U.S. and Japan.
