Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida vowed to strengthen “trilateral strategic collaboration” with the United States and South Korea during the first-ever stand-alone summit between the three nations’ leaders on Friday at Camp David.
During the historic meeting, Kishida emphasized the need to strengthen the partnership between the three nations, with heavy emphasis on the growing nuclear and missile threats from North Korea. “Under such circumstances to make our trilateral strategic collaboration blossom and bloom is only logical and almost inevitable and is required in this era,” he said to the crowd. “The three of us here today declare our determination to pioneer a new era of Japan, US, ROK partnership.
These included the full implementation of sanctions, collaboration at the United Nations Security Council where all three nations will be member states in 2024, and the monitoring of North Korea’s cyber activities – a believed “source of finance for nuclear and missile development and other matters,” the prime minister explained.
