The White House announced Friday that the trilateral summit in Lima, Peru, will address North Korea’s deployment of troops to Russia—a development that has drawn growing international concern.

National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One en route to Peru, said the summit would provide an opportunity for U.S. President Joe Biden, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, and Japanese Prime Minister Ishiba Shigeru to align their views on Pyongyang’s involvement in the Ukraine conflict. Sullivan emphasized the importance of coordinating a unified response among the three allies.

Sullivan called North Korea’s troop deployment a “significant development” and underscored that the three leaders view the matter with “utmost seriousness.” He also noted that the summit would include planning for potential provocations by North Korea during the upcoming U.S. presidential transition, a period often marked by heightened activity from Pyongyang.

He stated they are closely monitoring the situation and emphasized that surveillance efforts would continue until January 20 next year, when a new administration might take office.

A key outcome of the summit would be establishing a trilateral cooperation office. This initiative aims to create an enduring framework to withstand political leadership changes among the three nations.

The trilateral meeting, set to coincide with the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, underscores the leaders’ commitment to addressing shared security challenges and maintaining a rules-based international order.
