With this decision, the relationship between Korea and Japan is at its worst, and there is a high possibility that there will be a crack in the trilateral security cooperation. The Japanese government, who was unhappy, called the Ambassador to South Korea last night in the atmosphere of unbelievable events and protested that it was very sorry.

9:30 last night. Kono Japan's foreign minister called South Korea's ambassador to South Korea to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to protest the South Korean government's policy to end the Japan-Japan military information security agreement, Jisomi.

I am very sorry that the decision to end Jisomia was a lack of understanding of the security environment.

Ambassador Nam reportedly said he would convey the Japanese government's position well.

Even if the situation occurs in the afternoon, it is common to change the dialogue the next day, but it is extremely rare to do this at a late hour.

It is interpreted as a calculated action to strongly complain of a government policy.

It is only a month that Mr. Kono invited the Ambassador.

A Defense Ministry official who was the window of military information exchange responded to the South Korean measures by saying, "Incredible things have happened."

Japanese media also reported extensively that large security bad news occurred during North Korea's recent short-range missile launch.

In particular, when the ROK-Japan Military Information Protection Agreement ends on November 22, it is expected to have a negative effect on the exchange of information with Korea through our allies.
