🇯🇵🇰🇷🇺🇸 Japan, US, South Korea set up secretariat to enshrine cooperation
The leaders of Japan, the United States and South Korea announced the creation of a secretariat to further align their policies and actions, about two months before US President-elect Donald Trump returns to power with his go-it-alone approach to foreign affairs.
Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, US President Joe Biden and South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol, who met in Lima on the sidelines of an international meeting, said the new entity will make the Indo-Pacific "a thriving, connected, resilient, stable, and secure region."
While it remains to be seen whether Trump will support the format, the Japanese Foreign Ministry said the three leaders discussed major regional issues, including North Korea and unilateral attempts to change the status quo.
