Japan-Korea Foreign Ministers' Meeting Ends Exchange of Opinions on GSOMIA or November 23 16:46

Opinion that Foreign Minister Mogi and Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-hwa (Korea's Foreign Minister) held a Japan-Korea Foreign Ministers Meeting in Nagoya City, and that the Korean government decided to maintain the Japan-Korea Military Information Comprehensive Protection Agreement = GSOMIA Seems to have been exchanged.

Foreign Minister Motegi had a meeting with Korea's Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-hwa for about 30 minutes from around 3:40 pm on the 23rd in conjunction with the G20 = Foreign Ministers Meeting in 20 major countries in Nagoya.

At the beginning of the meeting, the two foreign ministers exchanged words after shaking hands in front of the press.

Although the details of the talks have not been made clear, it is considered that opinions were exchanged based on the Korean government's decision to maintain the GSOMIA = Comprehensive Military Information Protection Agreement of Korea and Japan that was about to expire on the 22nd. It is possible.

In addition, Minister Mogi seems to have strongly urged the Korean side to correct the violation of international law on the issue of “recruitment” during the Pacific War.
