Representatives from Japan, the United States, and South Korea convened to discuss strategies for countering North Korea's cyber activities. The trilateral meeting focused on preventing Pyongyang from acquiring funds for its weapons programs, including weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles, through illicit cyber operations.

The participating nations reaffirmed their shared policy of blocking North Korea's access to financial resources gained from activities such as cryptocurrency theft.
