The leaders of Japan, South Korea and the United States will be looking to “institutionalize” their trilateral ties during a historic summit Friday at the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland, as they enter what Washington has hailed as “a new era” in their relationship.
In a major step toward making trilateral cooperation a more permanent fixture, U.S. President Joe Biden, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and South Korean leader Yoon Suk-yeol will agree to hold three-way summits at least once a year, while also conducting more frequent joint military drills around the Korean Peninsula and bolstering intelligence-sharing, including real-time warning data on North Korean missile launches.
The three leaders are also expected to signal deeper cooperation in areas such as cybersecurity, supply chain resilience and fighting economic coercion.
