"Given the increasingly severe international situation, I believe we may truly be at a turning point in history," Japanese Foreign Minister Takeshi Iwaya said at the start of the meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yul. "That makes it even more important to overcome division and confrontation through dialogue and cooperation," he added.

Tokyo and Seoul are close allies to Washington, hosting thousands of U.S. troops on their soil.

I suppose South Korea is voluntarily hosting us, the US is the reason they even exist at all. And provided a large portion of their defense, but Japan is a very different story.
