On partnership with president u. N. We will work to further strengthen the Strategic Partnership<\/a> between countries in order to safeguard a free and open interNational Order<\/a> based on the rule of law. Thank you. Thank you. Now we have time for questions. President biden, please select a reporter first. Ap. Thank you, mr. President. I have a question or each of the leaders. It will be brief but related. President biden, first for you, how confident should asia be about a robust american commitment to a Nuclear Umbrella<\/a> when the commanderinchief who preceded you and is looking to succeed you, spoke openly about reducing the footprint in the korean peninsula. In president yoon, how much confidence can japan have about rapprochement when full showed the solid majority of create disapproves of your handling and mending of the slavery issue. What assurances can you give to citizens who fear bolstering the Security Cooperation<\/a> in this matter could lead to a country and an economic cold war with china and, if youll indulge me, on a domestic matter, what is your reaction to the special counsel appointment from last week. Thank you. First of all, look at there is not much if anything i agree on with my predecessor on fullerton policy. It is an America First<\/a> aussie walking away from the rest the world. It is a weaker and not stronger. America is strong with our allies and our alliances, and that is why we will endure the strength that quite frankly increases all of our strength. This is one summit and what makes this date different as it is launching a series of initiatives that are actually institutional changes. How we deal with one another. Security, cooperation, economic cooperation, technology cooperation, development operation, consultation exercises, it will make the relationship stronger and more certain to remain in place. And, with regards to these results, i think they will keep going and they will benefit all of our countries. With regard to the second question, i have no comment on any investigation that is going on. That is up to the Justice Department<\/a> and that is all i have to say. To the question that was directed to me, i would like to say the treaty may be between korea and japan that was made in 1965, and they following ventures by the government, and the supreme courts ruling in 2015 has some differences but, we have already implemented azures to bridge the gap among them. And, and south korea, of course, there is popular opinion that is opposed to the government measures like that. However, from the perspective that is forwardlooking, strengthening ties and improving relationships between. And japan, they are important, and there is a understanding that this matters to our bilateral relationship as well as our future, and this is something we need to work on. Thank you for the question. First of all, at todays meeting, the rules based interNational Order<\/a> and activities inconsistent to such rulebased interNational Order<\/a> and activity, has been shared and the rulebased defeat open into additional order must be defended, going board. Japan is engaged in a strategic collaboration where we will be reinforced even further. Such endeavors will continue going forward. Our country and for the surrounding countries in response to capabilities in the defense capabilities will be bolstered and by doing so, the life and livelihood of our population will be protected and the sense of assurance must be raised. These are the important activities. Having said that, with regard to china, last year, in november, there was the japan china leaders summit. There was a positive momentum. By meeting with the positive momentum, what has been asserted will be asserted. And this is truly a request responsible to conduct, and we will continue to accumulate a conversation about multiple issues. We will incorporate with regard to challenges, constructive and stable relationships which will be established in mutual mutual effort. That is my administrations consistent policy, based on this perception towards regional stability. Our efforts will continue. Thank you. President you, question. Please go ahead and ask a question. The reporter, please go ahead with your question. Hello. First of all, i would like to ask a question to the president of the republic of korea. I heard you stated there was a new trilateral cooperation with a few countries, compared to the 12 years of finance per head what would be the most significant outcome you would gain in the summit, and also, from the perspective of our people, what would be the benefit that the people of korea would feel from the strengthening of ties, and now my question goes to President Biden<\/a>. In this summit, the issues or wars there will be a vertical cooperation in these issues, and also, you said you would support the free and peaceful relations, and what kind of shift with there be in the policy and what kind of solution would you have in these regards. Lastly, i would like to send a question to the premise or. Today, we have a historic trilateral summit read however, there was much backlash and concern in korea. However, the president was approached to do so. The International Immunity<\/a> evaluation, however, there are still concerns that the opponents making their efforts to resolve these issues still remain, and also, how would you resolve to improve the bilateral relations going forward. First of all, this trilateral Cooperation Among<\/a> our three countries has opened a new chapter and remained we made the announcement today. We talked about the differences from the past cooperation, for instance in the past it was about individual issues that we saw Cooperation Among<\/a> ourselves. But now, as we have opened a new chapter in our operation, the security economy, the technology and Development Cooperation<\/a> for the global self read health and women across all of the issues, there were three countries that decided to Work Together<\/a>. It is much more comprehensive in nature. Such comprehensive cooperation has been launched by us today. Because currently, they made complicated crisis, and the threat from the dprk. Across the world, we believe there would be together a contribution around the world. So that is our foundational understanding, and our common and shared interest of the three countries, not just that, but a crude interest of ourselves, our interests are well aligned with a universal interest of the members of the global community. That is where we find our shared interests lies. At the same time, the framework of Cooperation Among<\/a> our countries would liberate contribute to supplyChain Resilience<\/a>. Global Financial Market<\/a> stability, cooperation in the Front Technology<\/a> sectors and science. Our three countries together have the best in class expertise and scientific technology, and we are the ones who are implementing liberal democracies. Naturally, progress in science and technology will bring benefits, tangible benefits to our people. Not just in terms of security, but also in terms of economy and science and technology. For what is most important here, that is not just about our own interests, but when we put our forces together, i believe that we can make a contribution to the advancement of freedom and peace in the world. That is exactly where our interests are aligned. Back in may of 2022, i met with the family of the japanese during a visit. I heard their stories. I empathize with them and he got a sense of the pain they were feeling. We know there are many families out there who still wait and worry and wonder. We are not going to forget about them or their loved ones. There is clear language on this joint statement. The bottom line is this. We share a common position and are committed to working together to see the return of all prisoners of war and those who have been objected and detained. By the way, one of the names we get asked, many times and this makes things possible. Success brings success. When other nations see cooperation in the region, they make judgments about whether they would be better off if they made commitments. When they move. Think about the students of history. All of you, what you are. Think about how many times excesses have generated other successes. When you dont anticipate. I think this is we will not forget. We are not giving up. We are continuing to make a case for the freedom of all of those detainees. With regard to a question for me, first of all, i have a strong feeling about strengthening the bilateral relationship between japan and korea. I sure that with the president. In dealing with international challenges, it showed a cooperation where those important neighboring countries, so, friendship with the president and the relationship of trust based on this country is as partners should open a new era, and that is my thinking. This year, the president came to japan and i visited the r. O. K. At the international form. We have repeated meetings. We have had repeated meetings. Between our two countries, they included the economy and security. Weve had a ford meeting and a concrete approach and is already in motion. Economic security was started. It has been decided on. In the area of export control, there has been progress. Also, financial ministers and defense ministers have had meetings. So, weve had a very positive forwardlooking development, and these have see not only the public sector, but also the private sector. We see a slate of development. Exchanges between our business circles, we are seeing active developments in all of these areas. That is a reality. Going forward, we hope to achieve accumulate these approaches along with the president to strengthen our bilateral relation even further. By generating results, we hope that people who understand the bilateral relation, we would like to continue those efforts. Thank you. Thank you read then, let me see from kyoto. Kyoto news. To camp david, i have a question to each of the leaders. Mr. President , resident biden. It was mentioned that the summit meeting, russias negotiation was going to continue. What role do you expect japan, Prime Minister<\/a> has mentioned that china, and asia, it is creating maybe east asia tomorrow. What do you think about this comment of President Biden<\/a>. And with the situation, with the trilateral relationship becoming stronger, and i have a question for your excellency. North korea is a Nuclear Missile<\/a> development that is a major ticket to south korea, japan and the u. S. The north korean revocation continues to escalate. What is the significance of this three country declaring a new era of partnership. With regarding the relief of treaty groups for extra Nuclear Partnership<\/a> spread can you explain the matter of the trilateral or bilateral summit today. As for the recent summit meeting, we have to respect the iaea, does bite and opposition. Why do you demonstrate an understanding for the ministration, i asked for the reason, and to Prime Minister<\/a> kishida, this is the first time that the summit has been held on a standalone basis read on the sidelines of international meetings. You have said that the trilateral cooperation will raise to new heights. For the security environment in east asia, and without the resolution of a north korean continue Nuclear Missile<\/a> development, what is the meaning for north korea, and in the South China Sea<\/a>, with advancement, the chinese continue to change the status quo. What is the meaning for china. You have a great imagination. One question as a being six, but i will try to answer all of them. Im glad i didnt have you as a law professor. Anyways, they are all legitimate questions. On ukraine, i and my country and the leadership of my country, both parties are grateful for everything japan is hoping to deal with the ukraine. I mean that sincerely. It shows strong leadership through the g7. It contributes a significant amount of financial and humanitarian work to ukraine, as well as nonlethal military equipment. And, you know, the joint nations will hold things accountable through greater sanctions. If my memory serves me well, and i think it does, mr. Premise or, we found ourselves in circumstances where when i called you about ukraine, i didnt have to convince you of anything. I started to make a case that ukraine was a circumstance to think in the First Quarter<\/a> of the 20th century. Other countries, would amass over a hundred 50,000 forces. On the border of another country. Hundred 50,000 forces to invade the country, invade the country without any rational other than if you read the speech after he invaded, he talked about steve being a motherland. It was ridiculous. He talked about being peter the great. It was just imagine if we had done nothing . Imagine if we had done nothing . The point was immediately recognized by yukon mr. Premise are that we are in a situation where it could happen anyways. We stood still. What would that send to china about taiwan or around the world . Nations who are more powerful on board. Heres the deal. You contributed significantly to what i think is already the let me put it this way. Russia has already lost. It cannot beat us its original objective. It is not possible. But when they join semi other nations, Holding Russia<\/a> accountable for international sanctions, apparently the leadership from day one is in is critical that the consequences for war extend well beyond europe. Well beyond europe. I say in reverse, what would happen if an agent country was invaded. I think that would not affect the interest of the economy and the Foreign Policy<\/a> nation in europe read and latin america, all across the world. There is a profound impact. With japans leadership from day one, it will be critical to make clear the consequences will extend well beyond your. Well be on your. Its a global issue that impacts everywhere, and the Prime Minister<\/a>s comments, and chamber law, it will be captured there. And by the way, what we talked about as being an inflection point, the world is changing. The world is changing. About every six or seven generations it makes a change. A lot happens. The idea that we will sit down and say, well, thats only a european problem, there has been that kind of invasion since world war ii. So, as for peace, we all want that. Ukrainians wanted most of all. My team is working very closely with the President Team<\/a> and further peace formula, noting nonetheless, we are meeting with them constantly. The other questions about china, it was not about china, that was not the purpose of the meeting, but china obviously came up. Not to say we dont share concerns about economic coercion or heightened tensions caused by china, but this summit was about our relationship with each other and deepening cooperation across a range of issues that went well beyond the immediate issues we range. It was about process in the indo pacific, a region that would benefit everyone living there and around the world if we get it right. It is not just here. It has an impact. Anyway, i wont keep going, i will take too long. As youve seen from the initiatives we are announcing here, today is how committed we are to see this vision take place. It is not merely what we did today, this is a historic meeting, but we are about to lay in place a longterm structure for a relationship that will last and having a phenomenal impact not just on asia but around the world. Someone said in a different context about a Health Care Provision<\/a> this is a big deal. This is a big deal. Thank you. Questions are directed to me first. As to north Koreas Nuclear<\/a> provocations and the threats posed, let me address that question, and the cooperative frameworks among our three countries, what is most symbolic is our cooperation in the defense area. It will trigger a decisionmaking process of the framework and solidarity would become stronger and harder. At the same time, information will be shared on a realtime basis and systematic training and drills will be implemented in accordance with the systematic, regular trainings we plan to carry out against missile provocations. That will be our response. At the same time, regarding the question about the water released, that was not addressed during our summit because it was not on the agenda. Still let me try to address the question. The fukushima plant treated water, if it was going to have an impact, it would have an impact not just on our three countries that all countries around the world. As such, for the sake of safety and health of all members of the International Community<\/a>, that should be something we should place the highest priority on. Regarding the treated water, face unscientific based on scientific principles, that should be carried out, and at the same time, recognized and reliable investigation results are something we can trust. I would like to make sure everything is conducted and carried out in accordance with the procedures established by the iaea together with the International Community<\/a> and with the korean transparent data disclosure. Thank you. Nuclear and Missile Development<\/a> i north korea or unilateral attempt to change the status quo our ongoing. It has become increasingly harsh state after day. On this occasion, we agreed to test the coordination between our alliances and bring cooperation to a new height. This is is indeed a requirementf this era and by this summit i am sure that the cooperation will further advance Regional Peace<\/a> and stability. In particular with regard to north korea, we were able to put forward concrete results such as the implementation of annual joint exercises and the establishment of a working group to address north koreas cyber activities. I also stated the objection issues and humanitarian issues with time constraints and the others reiterated their support for this matter. We also shared our recognitions that dialogue with north korea is open. Once again, the president s of both countries aligned with me in opposing unilateral changes to the status quo through the use of force. We will continue our efforts to further strengthen the Strategic Partnership<\/a> among the three countries in order to defend the free, open and interNational Order<\/a> based on the rule of law. That is all, thank you. I hope to followup on our conversation this fall. Thank you. This concludes our press conference. Please stay seated as the leaders depart. Thank you.
