The statement precedes the annual Ulchi Freedom Shield exercise between South Korea and the US, set to begin on Monday, and underscores the leaders' commitment to advancing security and prosperity in the region.
"We stand by our commitment to consult on regional challenges, provocations, and threats affecting our collective interests and security," the statement read.
The leaders highlighted key accomplishments, such as the launch of the trilateral multi-domain exercise Freedom Edge in June and the recent signing of a Trilateral Security Cooperation Framework.
They also acknowledged the efforts of a trilateral working group in disrupting North Korea's funding of its weapons programs through cybercrime and other illicit activities.
