The Japanese and South Korean foreign ministers meet on the sidelines of a Japan-hosted G-20 meeting a day after Seoul kept alive a 2016 military intelligence sharing pact with Tokyo, reversing its planned termination amid bilateral tensions.
Japan's Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi, right, meets with South Korea's Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha before a bilateral meeting during the G20 foreign ministers meeting Saturday, Nov. 23, 2019, in Nagoya, Japan.
Japan’s Toshimitsu Motegi and South Korea’s Kang Kyung-wha discussed ways to mend their countries’ troubled ties as they met in Nagoya, where Japan was hosting the foreign ministers meeting from the Group of 20 major economies. Seoul’s announcement Friday followed a strong U.S. push to save the pact, the General Security of Military Information Agreement, or GSOMIA, which is a symbol of the country’s three-way security cooperation amid North Korea’s nuclear threats and China’s growing influence.
Japanese trade officials said it was not an effort to save GSOMIA, but South Korea had indicated it may reconsider if Japan showed a sign of flexibility on the export issues.
