SEOUL, Dec 23 (Reuters) - Senior South Korean diplomats will hold talks with Chinese counterparts on Thursday following a diplomatic spat with Taiwan over its cancellation of the attendance by a senior Taipei official for a business forum in Seoul last week.
Vice Foreign Minister Choi Jong-kun and aides are set to hold talks online later on Thursday with a team led by Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Le Yucheng, the first such meeting since June 2017.
Taipei's foreign ministry called the move "rude," and summoned South Korea's acting de facto ambassador to express its displeasure. South Korea's foreign ministry said the decision was made by the event's organisers based on "comprehensive considerations of all circumstances", without elaborating.
