Korea Close to Signing Military Pact with Japan

For the first time since South Korea's liberation from Japanese rule in 1945, the two countries may be close to signing a military cooperation agreement. South Korean media outlets are reporting that working-level talks are underway for the two sides' defense ministers to sign a set of pacts as early as late May, during Korean Defense Minister Kim Kwan-jin's expected visit to Japan. The General Security of Military Information Agreement, which South Korea has already signed with around 20 countries including the U.S. and Russia, would allow Seoul and Tokyo to share military information and surveillance capabilities on North Korea. And with the Acquisition and Cross-Servicing Agreement, the two countries are hoping to exchange military supplies and services for UN peacekeeping operations or in times of natural disaster management. http://www.arirang.co.kr/News/News_V...Ne2&category=2

Both seem to be conveying they are in talks of a pact. Either way, I hope it all goes well for them and I think they can work together with all sorts of issues, especially with rising China on the horizon.
