What are the impacts of these summits?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Indo-Pacific Security:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The trilateral summit between Japan, South Korea, and the US can enhance security in the Indo-Pacific against potential threats.<\/p>\n

Japan desires greater engagement with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).<\/p>\n

South Korea’s arms export industry grew rapidly between 2017 and 2021, emphasizing its role in regional defense.<\/p>\n

Impacts on India and Quad:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Questions arise about India’s capability and willingness to partner with the West.<\/p>\n

Japanese and South Korean companies express concerns about their supply chain vulnerabilities intersecting with both the West and China.<\/p>\n
