Trilateral coordination among Washington, Seoul, and Tokyo will function as a major mechanism through which the ban of weapons of mass destruction and the dissolution of the Cold War system on the Korean peninsula will be discussed. In the first place, a comprehensive approach will proceed through several channels. First of all, the US-DPRK talks will deal with the North’s nuclear and missile development problem and the improvement of diplomatic relations. Second, a resumed Japan-DPRK dialogue will handle the diplomatic normalization and the economic compensation for the North. Third, an inter-Korean dialogue will discuss the implementation of the Basic Agreement of the Two Koreas and the promotion of inter-Korean cooperation. In addition, a comprehensive approach involves diverse issues such as diplomacy, security, economy, and so on. A variety of issues are interwoven together, and each issue functions as a precondition of accelerating settlement in other areas. Against this backdrop, the trilateral coordination of USROK- Japan is needed to work through a variety of issues and reduces possible disputes among the three countries. Considering these factors, this paper suggests the specific coordination among the US, South Korea, and Japan concerning the following issues: stopping North Korea’s missile development, improving inter-Korean relations as well as the relations of the North with the US and Japan, a peace arrangement on the Korean peninsula, security cooperation of US-ROKJapan, and multilateral security cooperation.
