Japan’s Defense Minister Gen Nakatani will visit Seoul next week to hold talks with his South Korean counterpart Han Min-koo on Japan’s recent security legislation, a government source said Tuesday.
“Defense Minister Nakatani will pay the visit on the occasion of the ADEX exhibition to be held from Oct. 20-25,” the official said, referring to South Korea’s forthcoming International Aerospace & Defense Exhibition.
During the visit, the top defense officials will hold the talks to discuss implications Japan’s recent security enactment would have on the Korean Peninsula, according to the official.
