The conference was organized by President Biden in conjunction with the leaders of Japan, Fumio Kishida, and South Korea, Yoon Suk Yeol. They convened to discuss issues pertaining to regional security cooperation, with a focus on mitigating North Korean aggression and counteracting China's influence.
President Biden stated, "We convene in this historic location to produce a historic moment, and I believe that to be true. Our 'Camp David Trilat' signifies a new age of cooperation between Japan, the Republic of Korea, and the United States."
In light of the enhanced ties, the three countries articulated their agreements in a joint declaration titled "The Spirit of Camp David." They consented to additional coordination measures, such as establishing a hotline for times of regional crises. A shared statement from the United States, Japan, and South Korea expressed the leaders' "commitment to consult" promptly to align their responses to regional challenges, provocations, and threats affecting their joint interests and safety.
They further reinforced their dedication to "peace and stability in the Taiwan Straits." There was mutual agreement on enhancing information exchange concerning North Korean missile launches and cyber activities, and amplifying missile defense cooperation to tackle nuclear and missile threats from North Korea.
To proactively address potential supply-chain disruptions and optimize information sharing, the U.S., Japan, and South Korea have planned to develop early-warning system trials.
