During a business meeting held prior to the summit, President Moon presented his vision for a Northeast Asian economic community based on free trade, peace and partnerships in response to the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Moon called for the co-prosperity of the three regional powers amid global low growth and protectionism.
Following the trilateral summit and a welcoming luncheon, President Moon is scheduled to hold separate one-on-one talks with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
It will be their first meeting in 15 months and comes amid soured ties between Seoul and Tokyo over historical and trade disputes.
During the talks, Moon and Abe will likely try to work out differences and restore worsening relations sparked by Japan's export restrictions on South Korea.
