*Event Description*
At the Camp David Summit on August 18th, U.S. President Joe Biden, South
Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, and Japanese Prime Minster Fumio Kishida
agreed to upgrade their relationship to a level of strategic cooperation in
the Indo-Pacific region that is not confined solely to the Korean
peninsula. This new trilateral cooperation focuses not only on coping with
security threats from North Korea but also on enhancing security alertness
against disruptive powers in the Indo-Pacific region. Promoting peace and
stability in the region by co-defending a rules-based international order
stands at the core of the spirit of this trilateral strategic cooperation.
Furthermore, this trilateral cooperation encompasses not only defense
issues but also a diverse array of issues including economic security,
supply chain soundness, technological development, health, and climate
change. Working together to deal with these future challenges represents a
new comprehensive strategic partnership between the three countries. The GW
Institute for Korean Studies and East Asian National Resource Center invite
you to join us for this special lecture which will highlight
newly-unfolding opportunities and challenges related to enhanced strategic
cooperation among the U.S., South Korea, and Japan.
