Mr. Kitazawa, Minister for Self-Defense, the Government of Japan confered with his counterpart Mr. Kim of the government of south korea on September 10. They have agreed to discuss ACSA (Acquisition and Cross Servicing Agreement) and GSOMIA (General Security of Military Information Agreement) applicable to activities to be carried out by Japan Self-Defense Forces in the area of international cooperation.
The Democratic Party of Japan has constantly been so critical of Japan's involvement in international cooperation activities such as dispatch of Japan Self-Defense Forces to the conflict zones when the Liberal Democratic Party was in power. However, when it comes to defending south korea, the party and its members seem to have completely forgotten their words and deeds. It appears that they are now more militarlistic than the previous government ruled by the Liberal Democratic Party.
