The summit at Camp David next month between leaders from the U.S., South Korea and Japan is set to prominently feature discussions around intelligence sharing. This increasingly underlines the potential establishment of a trilateral nuclear consultative group.

This meeting will signify the fifth gathering of these leaders this year. However, this particular summit holds heightened significance given that the three nations are poised and prepared to take their cooperation to a “new level,” as previously pledged at the G7 Summit held in Hiroshima in May.
