Defense ministers of Korea and Japan were set to hold talks in Seoul on Sunday as the two countries seek to expand defense cooperation amid warming bilateral ties.
Defense Minister Ahn Gyu-back will meet with Japanese Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi, less than a month after their previous talks on the margins of a security forum in Singapore.
Koizumi arrived in Seoul the previous day for a two-day visit — his first trip as defense minister — reciprocating Ahn's visit to Japan in January for talks with his Japanese counterpart.
The two sides will announce the outcome of talks in a joint press statement.
