Foreign ministers from Japan, the United States and South Korea on Friday agreed that the three nations will work together closely to deal with North Korea’s nuclear and missile threats, including strengthening their regional deterrence.
They also exchanged views on China, which has been intensifying maritime assertiveness in the Indo-Pacific region, as well as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine that started in February, Japanese Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi said at a news conference on the Indonesian island of Bali.
The trilateral talks between Hayashi, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and South Korean Foreign Minister Park Jin marked the first such gathering since South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol took office in early May.
