Cooperation, Western Proverb
It takes two to tango.
- Western Proverb
A common idiomatic expression which suggests something in which more than one person or other entity are paired in an inextricably-related and active manner, occasionally with negative connotations.
The phrase originated in a song, Takes Two to Tango, which was written and composed in 1952 by Al Hoffman and Dick Manning. The lyrics and melody were popularized by singer Pearl Bailey's 1952 recording.

Takeshima, Norio Kuboi
We confirmed that South Korean residents are living on Takeshima, and that the islets are being guarded. It is clear that South Korea is in a position of being able to claim sovereignty over the islets.
