Congress finds the following: Japan and the Republic of Korea (South Korea) are both treaty allies and critically important security partners of the United States. Japan and South Korea confront a range of shared challenges to their national security and to stability in the Asia-Pacific region, including the multitude of threats posed by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea). It is the sense of Congress that— the United States should continue to support trilateral cooperation with Japan and South Korea; the United States should continue to support defense cooperation between Japan and South Korea on the full range of issues related to North Korea and to other security challenges in the Asia-Pacific region; and the United States should seek to facilitate closer security cooperation with and between Japan and South Korea on— non-proliferation; cyber security; maritime security; security technology and capability development; and other areas of mutual security benefit.
