South Korea intends to rescind an intelligence-sharing pact with Japan, the country's presidential office said on Thursday following a lengthy debate within the presidential National Security Council, APA reports citing Sputnik.
The pact known as the General Security of Military Information Agreement or GSOMIA was due to be automatically renewed on Saturday.
Relations between Seoul and Tokyo have been under strain after a South Korean court ruled in June that Japanese companies must provide compensation to victims of forced labour during the Japanese occupation from 1910-1945.
