South Korea asks Japan to share missile info via GSOMIA
October 2, 2019
Seoul--South Korea's Defense Minister Jeong Kyeong-doo said Wednesday that the country asked Japan to share information on North Korea's apparent ballistic missile launch on the day through a bilateral military intelligence-sharing pact.
Jeong revealed the request at a meeting of the defense committee of South Korea's National Assembly.
This was the first information-sharing request made by South Korea to Japan via the General Security of Military Information Agreement, or GSOMIA, since Seoul made a decision on Aug. 22 to scrap the pact. The bilateral agreement is expected to expire in late November.
On Wednesday morning, North Korea fired an apparent submarine-launched ballistic missile, which is believed to have fallen into Japan's exclusive economic zone in the Sea of Japan.
The South Korean military made the GSOMIA-based request in order to figure out the missile's precise landing point, informed sources said. Jiji Press
