TOKYO — A trilateral alliance between the United States, Japan and South Korea could become the most important form of military cooperation in the Indo-Pacific, according to a South Korean security expert.
U.S. President Joe Biden, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol are scheduled to hold their countries’ first ever trilateral summit at the Camp David, Md., presidential retreat on Friday.
The three are expected to announce details of a pact covering intelligence sharing, supply chains and cybersecurity, the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday, quoting unnamed officials.
The agreement will also cover ballistic-missile defense cooperation and joint military exercises.
