Defense chiefs from the United States, South Korea, and Japan have pledged to enhance cooperation to deter nuclear and missile threats from North Korea. This commitment was made during a trilateral meeting in Tokyo, marking the first of its kind in 15 years as the countries aim to bolster coordination in an increasingly tense region.
The meeting follows a significant summit held by US President Joe Biden at Camp David last year, signaling Washington's efforts to strengthen ties with key allies in Asia amidst concerns over North Korean provocations and Chinese aggression.
