Tripartite discussions between the South Korea, Japan and the United States are to take place later this week, the Yonhap News Agency has reported, with a focus on increased cooperation in intelligence sharing.

A similar military intelligence-sharing agreement between the two collapsed two years ago due to domestic resistance in South Korea.
