US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson will travel to Japan, the Republic of Korea and China next week on his first visit to the region since assuming the job last month, the State Department said. He will arrive in Tokyo on Wednesday, continue on to Seoul on March 17 and will then travel to Beijing the following day. The nuclear and missile activities of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea are expected to dominate Tillerson’s talks with his counterparts.
