THE US-ROK-JAPAN SECURITY COOPERATION

Korea Times (Kim Yon-se, "US, KOREA, JAPAN STUDYING JOINT REGIONAL SECURITY ENTITY", Seoul, 2008/04/11) reported that the United States and Japan are moving to launch a joint security entity, which might also include Australia and New Zealand in the Asia-Pacific region. The idea, which is still in the initial stages of discussion, may take shape when President Lee Myung-bak meets U.S. President George W. Bush next week, according to sources. Once the proposed plan takes shape, they said, the two leaders could meet with Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda before the first half of the year. The three leaders are likely to fine-tune a trilateral summit in the upcoming summit between Lee and Bush at Camp David, U.S. presidential retreat, on April 18-19 and between Lee and Fukuda in Tokyo on April 21, they said.
