The Japan-Korea Military Information Comprehensive Protection Agreement = GSOMIA will reach the deadline for notification on the 24th if the agreement is canceled. The Japanese government says that it is likely that the agreement will be extended, but we will continue to pay close attention to the fact that the South Korean side insists that it can be abandoned at any time.
Japan-Korea Military Information Comprehensive Protection Agreement (GSOMIA) has an arrangement that it will be automatically extended every year unless either government notifies that it must be notified 90 days in advance. Due to this, 24 days will be the deadline for this year.
Last year, the Korean government announced that Japan would abolish GSOMIA as a countermeasure against Japan's measures to tighten export controls, but announced that it would stop the notification after the US urged to maintain the agreement. Did.
This time, there is no concrete move to abolish, and the Japanese government says that the agreement is likely to be extended.
However, the Korean government has repeatedly argued, "Currently, the notification of revocation is suspended, and the agreement can be revoked at any time. The concept of extending it every year does not apply."
While there is concern that Japan-Korea relations will worsen due to the fact that the procedure for the sale of assets by Japanese companies is expected to be advanced due to the issue of "commissioning," the Japanese government will respond to the Korean side over GSOMIA. We will continue to pay close attention to the changes.
