US-Japan-South Korea summit marks ‘new era’ that delivers on defence, diplomacy and tech
- Camp David principles deepening trilateral commitments set forth after first-of-its-kind meeting of Joe Biden, Fumio Kishida and Yoon Suk-yeol
- ‘This is not about a day, a week or month. This is about decades and decades of relationships that we’re building,’ Biden says
But they sent a clear signal that the three would do far more in times of crisis than “consult”, the language outlined in the summit joint statement.
“Today, we’ve made history,” said Biden at a joint news briefing at the summit’s conclusion. “Your leadership, with the full support of the United States, has brought us here because each of you understands that our world stands at an inflection point, a point where we’re called to lead, and new ways to work together, to stand together. And today, I’m proud to say our nations are answering that call.”
“We’re going to continue to seize those possibilities together, unwavering in our unity and unmatched in our resolve,” Biden said. “This is not about a day, a week or month. This is about decades and decades of relationships that we’re building.”
