GSOMIA is an acronym for 'General Security of Military Information Agreement',[1] mainly known for a bilateral military treaty for exchange of military information between Japan and South Korea.

History

The agreement was signed on 23 November 2016 at Seoul, South Korea.[2]

GSOMIA was involved in 2019 by South Korean president Moon Jae-in as part of Japan–South Korea trade dispute, yet retained by pressure from Trump administration of the United States.[3] The treaty came back in force by South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol later in year 2023.[4]
