During a meeting in Hiroshima, Japan, on the sidelines of the G7 summit, Mr. Biden invited host country Prime Minister Kishida Fumio and South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol to the United States.

Plans for another trilateral summit have emerged as the three security allies see a need to further strengthen cooperation on issues such as North Korea's nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs.

For his part, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said he and his Japanese and South Korean colleagues “look forward to a summit of the three leaders hosted by President Joe Biden in the United States in the coming months.”

Since the beginning of this year, Japan-South Korea bilateral relations have shown signs of improvement, notably with Mr. Kishida's visits to South Korea and Mr. Yoon's visits to Japan, the first since the 2010s.

In April, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol paid a state visit to the United States, meeting with his host counterpart Joe Biden in Washington.
