Korea-Japan Military Ties Defense chiefs of Korea and Japan recently agreed to seek closer military ties between the two countries. Korea’s Minister of Defense Kim Kwan-jin met with his Japanese counterpart Toshimi Kitazawa in Seoul to exchange views on various defense and security issues. The two top military officials also reached agreement to protect confidential military information and share military supplies and services. Both are covered by the General Security of Military Information Agreement and the Acquisition and Cross-Servicing Agreement. Under the agreements, the two neighboring countries will be able to systematically exchange intelligence on North Korea’s nuclear program and weapons of mass destruction development. The two militaries will also have a legal basis to share logistics supplies such as food, fuel and means of transporting troops when conducting peacekeeping and humanitarian operations as well as military drills. Defense officials see the agreements as new steps toward the development of military ties between the two countries. This is in line with Washington’s urge to push two of its Asian allies into seeking stronger military ties as threats in the region grew, following North Korea’s provocative actions including the shelling of R.O.K. Marines and civilians on Yeonpyeong Island last November. Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, had already proposed high-level military cooperation, including joint military drills involving Korea, Japan and the U.S., as a measure to increase deterrence against North Korea. On the other hand, criticism has been voiced due to bitterness over Japan’s harsh conduct during its colonial rule on the peninsula (1910 - 1945). Technically, Japan’s pacifist constitution made after the Second World War strictly prohibits the use of force to settle disputes outside Japanese territory. Critics also cite bad feelings over the lingering territorial dispute with Japan over Tokyo’s territorial claims on Dokdo Islands in the East Sea. Opponents also say closer military ties with Japan will raise military tension in the region, provoking Cold War politics and a strong backlash from Beijing. Meanwhile, amid the growing controversy, defense ministry officials insist that the issue will be approached cautiously, considering the sentiments of some Koreans. 2 3 6 Issue & Debate 26.
