South Korean Principal Deputy National Security Adviser Kim Tae-hyo underscored the importance of the upcoming trilateral summit with the United States and Japan on Sunday, noting that it will pave the way for a "key" security cooperation framework.
"Through the upcoming South Korea-US-Japan summit, Camp David will be recorded in 21st century diplomatic history as the site that opened a new chapter in trilateral cooperation," Kim said during the press briefing. United States President Joe Biden, Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio and South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol are also expected to discuss "practical cooperation measures" to respond to North Korea's nuclear and missile threat, the presidential official said.
The White House previously confirmed that the trilateral summit will be held on August 18.
