With vows of advancing each country’s commercial and national safety interests, President Joe Biden and the presidents of South Korea and Japan reached historic deals on Friday, fixing the 2 nations’ troubled past.
Biden greeted South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida at the first trilateral summit among the 3 nations that did not take place on the edges of an international conference, sending a clear signal to China.
“This is the initial meeting I’ve held at Camp David, and I am capable of no other appropriate site to represent our new age of collaboration,” Biden stated at a combined press conference conducted at the basic presidential settlement in the Catoctin Mountains, approximately 60 miles north of Washington.
The meeting was overshadowed by China’s and North Korea’s impending threats. South Korea and Japan have made efforts to restrict Beijing’s escalating power in the region, even though both countries are well beyond the range of Pyongyang’s rocket tests.
