True
The foreign ministers of South Korea, the United States and Japan have agreed to coordinate efforts toward North Korea's denuclearization and the resumption of dialogue with Pyongyang, while pledging to broaden trilateral cooperation in artificial intelligence (AI), semiconductors and small modular reactors (SMRs), according to the outcome of their meeting.
The three ministers aligned their positions on the denuclearization of North Korea and on ways to bring Pyongyang back to the negotiating table. The meeting outcome frames denuclearization and a restart of dialogue as a joint agenda item, with the allies committing to move in step as they pursue both goals.
On the economic and technology side, the ministers put forward three fields for expanded cooperation: AI, semiconductors and SMRs — compact nuclear reactor designs positioned as a smaller, more flexible class of power plant than conventional units.
The technology pillar extends the trilateral agenda beyond security, linking diplomatic alignment on the North Korea file with collaboration in advanced industries. For Korea's chip and AI sectors, the pledge places the country's core export industries inside a formal three-way cooperation framework alongside the United States and Japan.
The claim that the South Korea, US and Japan foreign ministers coordinated on North Korean denuclearization and the resumption of dialogue while agreeing to expand cooperation in AI, semiconductors and SMRs is True.
