South Korea, US, Japan meet on supply-chain resilience

Officials from South Korea, the United States and Japan have held their first economic security dialogue, South Korea’s presidential office said on Tuesday,
amid efforts to strengthen the resilience of supply chains and develop technology.
Though Japan and South Korea are at time uneasy neighbours, the three countries are keen to expand cooperation in various fields in the face of increased global tensions, a more assertive China and an unpredictable North Korea.
“This dialogue is meaningful in expanding bilateral economic security cooperation with the United States to the trilateral level,” the office of South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol said in a statement.
“It is expected to strengthen the three countries’ major supply chain resilience and crisis response capabilities, and play a role in fostering cooperation to promote and protect key and emerging technologies.”
