CAMP DAVID - US President Joe Biden and the leaders of Japan and South Korea said they saw a “new chapter” with greater three-way security cooperation as they met for a first-of-a-kind summit that has already rattled China.
In a joint statement, the three leaders said they opposed the “dangerous and aggressive behavior” by China as it exerts itself in maritime disputes in the East and South China Sea. “Today will be remembered as a historic day, where we established a firm institutional basis and commitments to the trilateral partnership,” Mr Yoon said.
Camp David marks the first time the three countries’ leaders have met for a standalone summit, and not on the sidelines of a larger event.
