The phone call was made between Donald Trump and the president of Yoon Suk Yeol. First of all, President Yoon congratulated the president-elect on his great victory with the slogan. In this regard, President Trump thanked him very much and expressed his special regards to the Korean people.
Our President congratulated President Trump on his wish to lead a great America with leadership in the future. The two first continued to talk about cooperation between South Korea, the U.S. and Japan. In the meantime, Korea-U.S.-Japan cooperation has been solid day by day, and this cooperation was able to be established as a three-way cooperation system of Camp David, which was attributed to President Trump, who strengthened cooperation between Korea, the U.S. and Japan during Trump's first term in office.
And our president said that the Korea-U.S. alliance will continue to form a close partnership that encompasses security, economy and all areas, and that the president-elect is willing to continue the good cooperative relationship between Korea and the U.S. And in the future, the two countries agreed to build common leadership in the Asia-Pacific region, the Korean Peninsula, and on a global level. And President Trump said he was listening well to President Yoon's leadership. At the same time, he said that the US shipbuilding industry needs Korea's help and cooperation.
We are well aware of Korea's world-class ability to build warships and ships, and we need to cooperate closely with Korea in the areas of repair, repair and maintenance as well as our ship exports, so we want to continue talking with the President in more detail in this area. President Trump and President Yoon talked in detail about the situation in North Korea.
We evaluated the situation with each other about the military trend in North Korea, which is currently sending troops to Ukraine. I also sympathized with the concerns about the tense war situation in Ukraine. The two leaders shared intelligence on North Korea's nuclear capabilities, ICBM launches, and successive ballistic missile provocations, the fall of filth balloons against South Korea, and GPS disturbances threatening the safety of our ships, civilians, and aviation in the West Sea.
We agreed on the need to meet in person and discuss all these issues in more detail, and soon agreed that President Yoon and President Trump will meet at an early date and place. In the future, we will continue the conversation between the camp staff and the working-level staff for details. That's about it.
