South Korea, Japan, and US to Commence Real-time Data Sharing on North Korean Missiles in December

The Defence Chiefs of South Korea, Japan, and the US have decided to begin a real-time data-sharing program on North Korean missiles in December. U.S. Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin met his South Korean counterpart Shin Won-sik in Seoul on Sunday with Japanese Defence Minister Minoru Kihara joining the meeting virtually. 

Japanese Defence Minister Minoru Kihara said, the ministers



discussed strengthening their three-way cooperation in the face of severe security environments. 

During a summit in August this year, U.S. President Joe Biden, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida agreed that by year's end, the three nations will exchange real-time North Korean missile warning data.
