South Korea Defense Ministry official says
>"Generel Security of Military Information Agreement with Japan has NOTHING binding power "

>"military intelligence agreement" is an empty promise

South Korea agreed Generel Security of Military Information Agreement with Japan unwillingly.

South Korea Defense Ministry says
"Generel Security of Military Information Agreement with Japan was forced by United States of America to do it"

"We are victim, We dont want that but U.S. threatens Poor South Korea."

---
South Korea and Japan recently agreed to share military intelligence --- but defense officials in Seoul deny the two countries are thinking about sharing more tangible military supplies.

The recent signing of the General Security of Military Information Agreement is a reminder that as recently as four years ago, Seoul and Tokyo were also considering an Acquisition Cross-Servicing Agreement(ACSA), meaning their militaries would share ammunition, food and fuel.

The two agreements were side-by-side on the negotiation table in 2012 before talks broke down.

Defense Ministry spokesman Moon Sang-gyun told reporters Friday that neither side has proposed talks about renewing the ACSA agreement.

He also clarified that South Korea's information sharing with Japan will be mainly limited to matters dealing with North Korea's nuclear and missile threats.
