The three-way security cooperation between the nations included a multi-year plan of regular exercises in all domains, an announcement of a 'commitment to consult' during crises, as well as an agreement to share real-time data on North Korea.
CAMP DAVID, United States - US President Joe Biden on Friday hailed a "new era" of unity with the leaders of South Korea and Japan as the allies unveiled new three-way security cooperation at a first-of-a-kind summit that has already rattled China.
The two treaty-bound US allies largely see eye to eye on the world, and together are the base for some 84,500 US troops, but such a summit would have been unthinkable until recently due to the legacy of Japan's harsh 1910-1945 occupation of the Korean peninsula. The leaders will also agree to share real-time data on North Korea and to hold summits every year, officials said.
China has flexed its muscle both at home and in Asia under President Xi Jinping, exerting disputed maritime claims and carrying out major exercises near Taiwan, the self-ruling democracy claimed by Beijing.
