President Joe Biden met with the leaders of South Korea and Japan on Friday to discuss a coordinated response to North Korea's deployment of troops to Russia to fight in Ukraine, as well as Pyongyang's nuclear threats. As the correspondent of the Voice of America in the White House, Patsy Widakuswara announces, the leaders met within the framework of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in Lima, Peru.

Leaders of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum, or APEC, a forum of 21 member countries that promote free trade, met in Lima, Peru on Friday.

During this meeting, President Joe Biden held discussions with South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol and Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba.

"I am proud of the cooperation to secure the technologies of the future and to counter North Korea's dangerous and destabilizing ties with Russia," declared President Biden.

Pyongyang has recently sent thousands of troops to help Moscow in its war against Ukraine.

"The challenging security environment inside and outside the region reminds us once again of the importance of our trilateral cooperation," said Yoon Suk Yeol, President of South Korea.

The White House said the tripartite meeting would allow the leaders to prepare for any moves they described as "provocative" by Pyongyang, including nuclear tests and ballistic missile launches.

"Especially important is cooperation in the field of security, which has reached high levels, as can be seen from the joint Freedom's Edge exercise," said Shigeru Ishiba, Prime Minister of Japan.

The joint trilateral exercise that ended on Friday was the last under Mr Biden's administration as the US prepares for President-elect Donald Trump to take office in January.

During his first term as president, Mr Trump advocated friendlier ties with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un but also threatened to attack his country.

He pressured Tokyo and Seoul to spend more on defense.

"Both Tokyo and Seoul are concerned about what kind of demands Mr. Trump will have on them to maintain the level of alliance that exists in both countries today," says expert Darcie Draudt-Véjares.

Mr. Biden met separately with the host of this meeting, Peruvian President Dina Boluarte.

He announced a $65 million aid package for Peru to fight drug cartels.

After other meetings with APEC leaders, Mr. Biden will participate in the G20 meeting that takes place in Rio de Janeiro./ VOA
