Ministers Agree on AI, Economic Security, and Cyber Defense Collaboration

Beyond cybersecurity, the ministers pledged to strengthen economic security and AI collaboration. Key initiatives include resilient supply chains for critical minerals, joint AI research programs, and aligned technological standards.

National strategies remain complementary:

US: OFAC targets crypto mixers linked to North Korea; FBI traces stolen assets.

South Korea: Enhanced AML rules, automated detection of suspicious transactions, and cybersecurity training.

Japan: Agencies monitor exchanges, share intelligence, and conduct joint exercises with allies.

Officials reaffirmed their commitment to complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula while countering emerging cyber threats.
