Doing that. Take this mission. So i tell you, we are ready to go any time the order is given. Charles stratford has small from across a.

They say that they are ready to go. They say that they have the resources, they have the full commitment and full backing that cost members. And they even have a timeframe.

So they do face size some serious challenges. This plan will now be taken to respect to pets of state. It needs to be green lighted by respect to parliament. We also know that there is a position in many West African States by opposition, policies, opposition groups to this plan. We know that it is already being denied. Nope, this particular plan but military intervention was denied in like jerry and sent it to proposal put forward by the president nigeria and the chair of echo as present to new booth.

Child stuff, adelcia 0 across big the desk is a professor of international politics, peace and security. At the cofi and on International Peacekeeping center. He hopes to move by a colossal push the june to the come to the negotiating table. It was the officials would like to give to june to and the just represented to use the by, i mean to 21 minutes is appointed by a june time from now until the end of this month to possibly come out. Right. I mean, come on the negotiation table, and we have the bustle that clearly states and the one on indigenous and less, you know what dialogue. So i think for the june to and the ministers to have from now till the end of the month to come out clearly. Now for when exactly the cost would go to this, not my fault with moving. It should have the secrecy, but my take will be, even if they move and they come up with a date, they would always take steps. What i mean is dont already have as far as the movement or the near the board is right before they even come out to warranty jim talk just on down or what it would be the case by the exact date. Well, it depends on the, the interest of, of the engine so very much to come to the negotiation table. That is all one of the cost ones now. Um, although the uh, my point to these ministers, i dont think um in the course of each of us would want to engage directly with these 2. 00 and 1. 00 ministers. The one clearly these to the lady that they want the june to come in. And i dont know if dealing with a minute such as, why the on bus. So that clearly stated that they dont want to engage and list dialogues because then um is 21 minutes so, so i started to come to about the tutor. So why not did you enjoy themselves . Come to the negotiation table of us President Joe Biden is hosting assignments on security in the Asia Pacific Region with the leaders of japan and south korea. China is increasing influence a north korean Ballistic Missile tests are off for discussion. Observe is say this 1st financial summit of its kind is a step closer towards collaboration in the region. One. Thank you both for your political courage that brought you here. And im looking forward to a 7 and great meeting with continuing these meetings. You stepped up to do the hard work that i would argue historic work to for your foundation, from which we can face the future together. The 3 of us together. And im deeply grateful for your leadership and i look forward to working with both of you as we begin this newer corporation and renew or resolve to serve as a force of good across you in the pacific. And quite frankly, around the world as well. Stronger coordination between korea, the us and japan requires more robust and institutional foundations. More of the challenges that threaten Regional Security must be addressed by us building up a stronger commitment to working together. Today will be remembered as a historic day where we established a Firm Institutional basis and commitments to the try lateral partnership. Today i hope we will explore to give a ways to elevate cooperation between korea, the us and japan, to a new plane through in the discussions. The International Community is at a turning point in history. And in order to allow the potential of, ill try the actual strategic collaboration to bloom and blossom. I wish to take this moment to raise the security coordination between japan, the republic of south korea, and the us to new heights. As we deepen our corporation and response to north korea, i would also like to Work Together in the areas of Economic Security such as critical and emerging Technology Corporation and supply Chain Resilience a small list. So lets go over now to add an associate. Hes at camp davids in maryland for us or us officials saying, this is a big deal. Why . What do they expect and come out of it . All right, we seem to a having a few technical bugs with unofficial. Oh no, we do have a now lets listen, then go ahead. Im not sure if you could hear me also. I was asking, what is the visual like the actual security adviser saying this is such a big deal . Im sorry, we had a few technical bucks. Well let you stand up again or the americans are aware that there have been problems in the japanese and the south koreans in the past has been an element of this trust of suspicion. And the 2 of them ive never really worked closely together. So from very edlio and job, i wanted to get them all together. You can see the 3 leaders just over my shoulder. Theyre making their way to the podium, the calling this the spirit of camp david. And what that intention is, is that they will make sure that they want more closely together in areas such as defense, technology, and also the economy. The defense is incredibly important. Theyll have annual exercises together at the moment the be kind of adult, there will be a lead a level hotline. So this is a diplomatic crisis. Then theyre able to talk to each other together at one time as well rather than being individual calls. And theyre going to deal with questions of economy, particularly the supply chain as well. Theyve done to the blinking whos the secretary of state and dec sullivan, whos the dig sullivan, whos the National Security device of taking their places as well. At the moment the american see, this is a big deal to calling the split of cam david. The think its significant, given that they believe at china is building is influence, particularly in the pacific, but also in the South China Sea area. And theres also the concern about north korea and discontinued nuclear program. So the believe the fight didnt like thing. The 3 countries together to have this constructed response. If there is any incidents in the area, then that will make them stronger and they see that this has been a priority from joe biden since day one of the island is the gathering really just about countering trying. That seems to be the impression that base as well. He thinks anyone from the what has to say, look, this isnt about china. This isnt about north korea. This is about 3 countries packed thing together. But theyre aware that this is going to upset china. Theyve already criticized the idea of it, and that has been told that the north koreans will in the next 48 hours or so kind of some sort of missile test as a response to the summit. But clearly the white house believes that this has a significant, unimportant diplomatic development. You had to bite and praise the leaders for the diplomatic cottage. And he thinks that this is an important step. Maybe not something the American People will immediately go. Well, i feel much safer, know, because its in place, but he argues that this is a significant step to make america a much more secure nation right now. And so a waiting were expecting those they just too much and give us a press conference. So were just going to keep this going for a moment if you dont mind down on them till we see them. What to expect those lead us to say to a duel obviously be very so some of the praise with, with, with each other. In the meantime, for this came with the change of the, the, the so it could be and president , he was certainly aware of, of the antagonism between the koreans and the japanese in the past. But felt he could move past it. And of course, this is something that both the japanese and the south koreans have got to sell to the domestic audience as well. And the japanese that a weight of that given that the election is coming up soon, then did you know that the Prime Minister might find that his agenda, stagnant, if he doesnt do well in those elections . I, i and the could be an issue the, but all 3 leaders believe this. So here, just checking with them. I showed us to make sure that doing something to appear in the, for all 3 leaders believe that this is a significant, unimportant diplomatic initiative. Something that theyve talked about for a couple of months clearly behind the scenes that was a lot of work going on. But a, it seems that all 3 sides are not happy with what has been agreed, that they can sign up to the spirit of camp david is being called. And the believe that this is a significant step forward for, for all 3 nations, that history between south korea and japan was something that was a big bridge for both of those countries to, to cover it goes back a long time to before the 2nd world war that have been issues in the interim that had been politicians have been elected by talking i very belligerently about either japan or size korea. So joe biden salt from the very beginning, we are told that this was something that he had to want to get to work towards not just have relationships with each country individually, but bring all 3 together. Some people have said this is almost like an a nice tool for the into pacific, not a phrase that is it, the white house that wants to use, but clearly it is a security packed of thoughts. And alan, when you speak with us officials, how do they respond to the criticism from china . The china is have been kind of saying, hey, the us is basically bringing big blog confrontations into the asia pacific. And of course, that we is it, that the chinese and most school have been pretty close recently, particularly since the start of the, the ukraine. More i bought the United States and the people i be speaking here from the white house. So essentially saying that china, i can take its action, can see what it wants, but this is 3 independent countries deciding that this is how they should organize their security just behind me. No, you see this really does missing though. We dont see it in cam. David and lets not forget, so i mean, the significance is also in this place as well. The white types of not under playing that, that we have that come david has in the past been used to book a piece treatment to tease the broken breakthroughs between countries. Have a very focus it views and you dont remember one point, dont some people thought about bringing the power button here to camp davids. So the significance shouldnt be on the plate of both the location. This could easily have been done on the side of the loan of the white house. Instead they decided to bring them here to camp davids. Westfall is historical residents so that the 3 lead us could appear at the podium the are behind me and talk about this new agreement that they put in place when i go across over to hear from joe biden, the president of the United States. Good afternoon everyone and welcome to camp david. If i see mike, im happy is because i am this is another great, great meeting mister president. Mister Prime Minister, i uh, made this a Storage Place to make a historic moment. And i believe that to be true. This is a new era in partnership between japan republic to create a new United States, our new camp. David, try that. Thats what we have here sim. But before we dive into the progress weve made today, if your excuse reached the saying, the senate a point of personal privilege, i want to start by express my appreciation for the contribution that your countries have made toward the relief following the devastating wildfire as in hawaii want to thank you both on behalf of the American People. I also want to know that my team is closely monitoring hurricane hillary, which is it has the potential to bring significant rain and flooding to southern california. Fame as preposition, personnel, and supplies in the region. And theyre ready to respond as needed. I urge everyone, everyone in the past of the storm to take precautions and listen to the guidance, state and local officials. And you heard me say before republic or korea and japan are capable and indispensable allies. Now to the purpose of why were here, americas commitment to both countries is, are in class. And my personal commitment to bringing these 3 nations together was real from the very beginning. Since last summer we met on the margins of the nato summit in spain. They all see on summit in cambodia and the g 7 summit in japan. Today we made history the 1st ever standalone summit between the leaders of our 3 countries. Us as well as our commitment to meet together on the leader level annually. And to have all our rows of cabinet member people feet on a regular basis for from this point on, not just this year, not next year forever. Thats the us intention. And so i want to recognize the important work to both of you have done. And the political courage, i mean, the sicily, the political courage, that you both demonstrated to resolve difficult issues that was stood in the way for a long time, close relationship between japan and career. And where the United States, your leadership, with the full supported United States has brought us here. Because each of you understands that our world stands at an inflection point. A point where were called the lead a new ways to Work Together to stand together. And today im proud to say our nations are answering that call. First, were elevating our try lateral defense collaboration to deliver in the Pacific Region that includes launching the annual multi domain military exercises, bringing our try lateral defense cooperation, new non pressure to levels. Were doubling down on information sharing, including the d p r. Case missile launches and cyber activities, strengthening our Ballistic Missile defense cooperation. And critically, critically, weve all committed to swiftly consult with each other in response to threats to any one of our countries from whatever source it occurs. That may as well have a hotline to share information and coordinate our responses. Whenever there is a crisis in the region for affecting any one of our countries. And today, we were here for a while, reaffirmed our shared commitment to maintain peace and stability in the taiwan straits and addressing and addressing economic coersion. Were going to continue to counter threats for the dpr k included crypto currency. Money laundering is to billions of dollars, potential arms transfer, and support of russias brutal war against ukraine. And together, together, were going to stand up for international law, freedom about a navigation and a peaceful resolution of disputes and the South China Sea. Second, were expanding our Economic Cooperation to build and you know, and then the pacific that is peaceful and prosperous. Today, weve committed to launch a new for we call the supply chain Early Warning system. Its going to supply chain Early Warning system pilot, and which will alert our nations to disruptions of certain products and materials, like Critical Minerals or batteries. So we can get ahead of the issues as we, they appear with the experience that weve experienced and during the pandemic, or, excuse me, this is falling off a go and uh, and building on the g 7 lead partnership for Global Infrastructure and investment for deeply in cooperation between our Development Finance institutions, to mobilize more financing for quality restriction and secure Communications Technology to help low income, a middle Income Countries throughout the region take on a challenge as a matter most of their people. And finally, our partnership is about building a Better Future for our people. Thats why were deepeni
