SEOUL, May 27 (Reuters) - Business leaders from South
Korea, China and Japan have agreed to step up their trilateral
cooperation in a bid to revitalise trade and stabilise supply
chains, they said in a joint statement on Monday.
    The joint statement said the three-way partnership had
become a "more pressing task" after experiencing slowing
economies in each country.
    More than 200 participants from business and trade groups  
including South Korea's No.2 conglomerate SK Group chairman Chey
Tae-won and Ren Hong-bin, a Chinese government official who
heads the China Council for the Promotion of International
Trade, gathered in Seoul on the sidelines of the trilateral
summit between South Korea, China and Japan.
