Japan and South Korea plan to resume military exchanges that were suspended in December 2018 after a South Korean naval ship locked its radar on a Japanese patrol plane.
The Yomiuri newspaper reported that the Japanese and South Korean governments plan to resume military exchanges that were suspended in December 2018 after a South Korean naval ship locked its fire control radar on a Japanese patrol plane.
According to the report, the parties will negotiate to hold a meeting between defense ministers within the framework of the Asian security conference taking place in Singapore from May 31 to June 2. The parties may prepare a document for this meeting to prevent an incident similar to the one in 2018.
The incident in question occurred on December 20, 2018, in the Sea of Japan. Both sides accused each other. In response to Tokyo's accusation that a South Korean ship locked its fire control radar on a Japanese aircraft, Seoul denied the information and accused the Japanese aircraft of coming too close to the South Korean ship.
This incident has seriously worsened the relationship between the two countries. Currently, both sides are concerned about the North Korea issue and are aiming to resolve bilateral differences.
