The Washington Declaration, which newly formalized 'Japan's participation' at President Yoon's press conference, is a diplomatic document on the 'joint defense posture of the ROK-US alliance', which simultaneously stipulates 'cooperating with the US-ROK Strategic Command' and 'pursuing dialogue and diplomacy with North Korea without preconditions'. .
The Declaration stated, “President Yoon affirmed that the Republic of Korea will contribute all of its capabilities to the combined defense posture of the ROK-U.S. Alliance.

These activities include new ground exercises conducted with the US Strategic Command. In light of these important developments, Presidents Yoon and Biden send a firm message to the international community that they will stand together against all threats to the common security of the two countries. We will continue close consultations on future measures to strengthen extended deterrence. At the same time, the two leaders steadfastly pursue dialogue and diplomacy with North Korea without preconditions as a means to advance the common goal of achieving complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.>
