On 13 May 2012, China, Japan and South Korea signed the Agreement among the Government of Japan, the Government of the Republic of Korea and the Government of the People’s Republic of China for the Promotion, Facilitation and Protection of Investment (“Trilateral Investment Agreement“). The Trilateral Investment Agreement is the first legal framework between the three East Asian nations regarding investment and once in force, aims to enhance and protect investments made trilaterally, whilst also paving the way for a potential Free Trade Agreement between China, Japan and Korea. A copy of the Trilateral Investment Agreement can be found here. Please click here to read our post on our Arbitration blog.
