South Korea and Japan are reportedly planning to unveil a joint declaration on the strengthening of bilateral cooperation between their two militaries.

Japan’s Yomiuri Shimbun said Tuesday that Seoul and Tokyo will do so as they have agreed on the need to strengthen solidarity amid unstable conditions in the region.

The report said the two sides are considering ways to adopt accords on the bilateral provision of military supplies and services as well as exchanges of intelligence between Japan’s Self-Defense Forces and South Korea’s military.

The paper said Japanese Defense Minister Toshimi Kitazawa will discuss the details of such proposed accords when he visits South Korea on Monday and holds talks with South Korean Defense Minister Kim Kwan-jin.
