CAMP DAVID -- US President Joe Biden and the leaders of South Korea and Japan agreed Friday (Saturday in Manila)
CAMP DAVID — US President Joe Biden and the leaders of South Korea and Japan agreed Friday to deepen military and economic cooperation, making their strongest joint condemnation yet of “dangerous and aggressive behavior” by China in the South China Sea.
“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,” Biden told a joint news conference in the wooded hills outside Washington. “We strongly oppose any unilateral attempts to change the status quo in the waters of the Indo-Pacific,” it said .
The three leaders also agreed to a multi-year plan of regular exercises in all domains, going beyond one-off drills in response to North Korea, and made a formal “commitment to consult” during crises, with Biden saying they would open a hotline.Camp David marks the first time the three countries’ leaders have met for a standalone summit, not on the sidelines of a larger event, and is the first diplomatic event since 2015 at the resort, which is synonymous with Middle East peacemaking.
The leaders’ joint statement renewed a call for North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons and urged all nations to enforce sanctions. “Due to Russia’s aggression of Ukraine, the international order is shaken from its foundation. The unilateral attempt to change the status quo by force in the East and South China Seas are continuing and the nuclear and missile threats of North Korea are only becoming even greater,” Kishida said.
