United States–Japan–South Korea relations have surpassed all expectations. On the sidelines of the November 2022 East Asia Summit in Cambodia, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, and US President Joe Biden issued the Phnom Penh Statement, in which they pledged to align “their collective efforts in pursuit of a free and open Indo-Pacific that is inclusive, resilient, and secure.” In August 2023, President Yoon and Prime Minister Kishida joined President Biden at a historic summit at Camp David. But a year after the first-ever standalone trilateral summit at the presidential retreat in Maryland, there are new questions about whether these three partners can maintain their momentum in the face of numerous global, regional, and domestic challenges.

Join Hudson Institute Asia-Pacific Security Chair Patrick Cronin and an expert panel as they consider the opportunities and problems confronting the future of the three nations’ cooperation. What are the shared interests that will propel further joint efforts? What obstacles stand in the way? Will cooperation survive possible changes in leadership?

This event was made possible in part by support from the Korea Foundation.
