The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said of the Korea-Japan Military Information Protection Agreement, Jisomia, that "our government can be terminated at any time, regardless of the date."

A spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Kim In-cheol asked at the regular briefing, "To end Gisomia, should I notify Japan again at the end of this month?" Under the premise, the termination notice had been suspended," he said.

"There is no change in the position of considering whether or not to exercise such rights in accordance with the trend of Japan's withdrawal of export control measures," Kim said. I emphasized.

Jisomia, signed on November 23, 2016, was originally renewed every year, and in order to stop the agreement, the other side will be informed by August 23, three months before the end of the agreement.

However, the government's position is that the same way as in the past is no longer valid, as South Korea took the'deferral of termination notice' in November last year.

In other words, it is not a notification method three months ago, but rather that Korea can be terminated at any time if desired.

The government notified Japan of the end of Jisomi in August last year in the face of conflict between Korea and Japan triggered by Japan's export restrictions.

Although it was the nature of the Japanese press card, it faced backlash from the United States and suspended the effect of the termination notice.
