Top security officials, experts call for continued U.S. commitment to nuclear deterrence, partnership with allies: Asan Plenum 2025 아산플래넘 2025: 트럼프 2.0 시대에 "미국 확장 억제 의지 여전히 강력해야… 한미 관세협의 중 조선업 협력 기대" : 커트 캠벨 A forum here in Seoul has brought together dozens of diplomatic and defense experts including former U.S. government officials to discuss regional security and stability under a second Trump administration. Our correspondent Oh Soo-young covers this event. Nuclear deterrence and alliances should not be neglected but bolstered by the United States, as geopolitical tensions and global conflicts continue three months into the second Trump administration. That's according to officials and experts at the annual Asan Plenum in Seoul. As concerns grow over the lack of messaging on Washington's security commitment to its allies,.. Kurt Campbell, former U.S. Deputy Secretary of State, raised the need for confidence-building, noting North Korea's nuclear threat, Russia's potential use of nuclear weapons, and the largest nuclear build-up of modern times in China. "My own view is that over time we're going to need to do more and we're going to need to involve our key allies, Japan and the ROK, more in decision making around military nuclear use, much in the way we did in Europe and in parts of the Cold War." Campbell also called for Seoul to have greater representation, as an addition to the G7 or the Quad, saying its contributions to global governance are dearly valued. On trade concerns, as America rolls out reciprocal tariffs against its trading partners, the former diplomat expressed optimism towards the "ingenuity and the determination" by Seoul's trade officials, who have traveled to Washington, D.C for ministerial consultations this week. "Lots of discussions about enhanced technology and other investments in the U.S. That's very welcome from the Trump administration more defense engagement but also work in areas that the U.S. clearly needs help One of the areas of deepest concern is our challenges in shipbuilding, both civilian and military. It is the ROK that can help us that can work with us and very productive partnerships. “The annual discussion comes amid the need for the Indo-Pacific security architecture to evolve to meet the challenges of a new era, especially at a time marked by competing visions of order and leadership in Northeast Asia.” Highlighting 80 years since the end of World War Two that liberated South Korea from Japan's colonisation, Seoul's Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yul warned against "naked self-interest" that led to war in the past. As two key democratic players in the Indo-Pacific, Cho highlighted Seoul and Tokyo's dramatic improvement of relations over the past three years, saying their partnership is not a choice but a necessity. The two nations commemorate 60 years of normalising bilateral ties this year. Amid the U.S.-China rivalry, Cho said South Korea and Japan can encourage China's constructive role and prevent escalations in the region. Tokyo's ambassador to Seoul also called for continued trilateral cooperation with the U.S. to strengthen deterrence and foster regional stability and prosperity.
