한미일 3국 국방장관 오늘 필리핀서 회담…北대응 논의

The nation's defense chief is in Clark, Philippines for an ASEAN forum.
Anticipation builds as Song Young-moo.... is set to discuss North Korea issues with his American and Japanese counterparts on the sidelines of the event.
Kwon Jang-ho outlines to expect from the meetings.

Monday marks the start of a two-day regional security forum in the Philippines.
The ASEAN Defense Ministers' Meeting-Plus, or ADMM-plus, brings together the top defense chiefs from the South East Asia region, and eight other nations, including South Korea, the U.S., China, Russia and Japan.
The North Korea nuclear issue will be high on the agenda, and the countries will be looking to reaffirm their cooperation in tackling it.
The participants are expected to make a joint declaration denouncing Pyongyang's nuclear and missile tests.
Seoul's defense minister, Song Young-moo, will also be busy holding meetings on the sidelines of the event.
Bilateral meetings have been scheduled with his U.S. and Japanese counterparts, James Mattis and Itsunori Onodera on Monday.
Then a trilateral meeting between the three defense heads will be held, where they are expected to make their own joint statement on North Korea.
Seoul has been trying to arrange a meeting with China's Chang Wanquan as well, but it is still being confirmed.
The South Korea-China relationship has been strained since last year, after Seoul greenlit the decision to deploy the U.S. missile defense system THAAD on Korean soil.
Song will be looking to mend ties with Chang on this matter, while pushing for Beijing's cooperation in further pressuring North Korea.
