President Joe Biden will host the leaders of South Korea and Japan on Friday at Camp David, a first for the three nations as they confront mounting threats in the Asia-Pacific.
The historic gathering reflects how concerns about China and North Korea are forging a closer relationship between the US and its two chief allies in the region, while helping South Korea and Japan overcome decades of animus.
Biden and former President Donald Trump were able to get the three leaders together on the sidelines of other summits, but the standalone nature of this meeting signifies how the dynamics in the region over the last decade have changed the relationship between Japan and South Korea. The summit is expected to result in agreements to improve communications on defense and economic issues, including the creation of a three-way hot line for the allies to use and a yearly joint military exercise, said top White House Asia adviser Kurt Campbell.
That could affect the China language included in the joint statement the leaders are expected to issue at the conclusion of the summit.Biden, Kishida and Yoon walk more in lockstep when it comes to North Korea. The South Korean leader in particular has taken a harder line against Pyongyang than his predecessor former President Moon Jae-In.
Other deterrence measures against Pyongyang and Beijing are expected to include new cybersecurity initiatives including efforts aimed at combating misinformation. But questions remain about how the three allies can ensure United Nations sanctions designed to choke off North Korea are being fully implemented.
