CAMP DAVID: President Joe Biden and the leaders of Japan and South Korea agreed Friday to expand security and economic ties at a historic summit at the US presidential retreat of Camp David, cementing a new agreement with the allies that are on an increasingly tense ledge in relations with China and North Korea.
Biden said the nations would establish a communications hotline to discuss responses to threats. He announced the agreements, including what the leaders termed the 'Camp David Principles,' at the close of his talks with South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.'Our countries are stronger and the world will be safer as we stand together. And I know this is a belief that all three share,' Biden said.
The US, Japan and South Korea agreed to a new 'duty to consult' security pledge committing them to speak with each other in the event of a security crisis or threat in the Pacific.The pledge is intended to acknowledge that they share 'fundamentally interlinked security environments' and that a threat to one is 'a threat to all,' according to a senior Biden administration official. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity to preview the announcement.
