Moon Jae-in doubles down on his unpopular economic agenda for South Korea
by Jihye Lee

Bloomberg
Jan 11, 2019

SEOUL - Moon Jae-in began his second full year as South Korea’s president with a reminder of what didn’t work in the first — namely his economic policies.

The message came in an unusually blunt question from a local television reporter, who used Moon’s New Year’s news briefing Thursday to ask why he stuck with an agenda that appeared to be failing. The president dug in, saying he needed to better persuade South Koreans his policies were right, not change course.

“I’ve explained why we need our government’s economic policy basis, and why it’s impossible to have sustainable growth without changing the imbalanced structure of our polarized society,” Moon said. “So, I don’t think I need to reply with a new answer.”

The episode underscored how South Korea’s slowing economy has emerged as a political liability for Moon, even as he’s enjoyed the global spotlight from playing peacemaker between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. The self-styled “jobs president” has seen his once sky-high poll numbers tumble, raising the prospect that he could face the same popularity problems that dogged his predecessors.

Moon, a progressive, was swept into office in 2017 promising a reversal from the conglomerate-focused economic agenda of ousted President Park Geun-hye. But his plan to raise the minimum wage 11 percent disappointed both workers who didn’t think it was enough and businesses who said it stifled growth.

More than three-quarters of the 30 experts surveyed by Bloomberg News last month predicted that employment growth would slow this year, in part because of the wage hike. Moon axed his finance minister and his policy chief after criticism that his administration was sending mixed signals on the policy.

Choi Pae-kun, an economics professor at Konkuk University in Seoul, said that the president and his lieutenants weren’t considering how their wage moves hurt their related push to encourage entrepreneurship. “Moon and his economic aides seem like they’re in denial of what actually must be done,” Choi said.

In a speech at his news conference Thursday, Moon outlined an economic agenda that was largely unchanged. He pledged to improve the safety net, promote new technologies and fix what he described as “the worst forms of polarized wealth and economic inequality in the world.”

Still, that may provide little relief to people feeling the pressure now. South Korea last month lowered its growth forecast for 2018 to 2.6 percent — the slowest pace in six years. The slowdown has been exacerbated by trade tensions and softening global demand.

At the same time, Moon’s approval rating slid to a record low of 44 percent last month, according to a Gallup Korea poll released Dec. 21. That’s down from 83 percent after his groundbreaking meeting with Kim last year. More than half of South Koreans surveyed in another Gallup poll last month said that the administration needed “to focus on economic growth, rather than income distribution.”

Moon’s support improved in a Gallup poll released Friday, rising 3 percentage points to 48 percent. Some 44 percent disapproved of his performance.

“If my approval ratings are low, that means I am not giving hope to our citizens,” Moon said Thursday. “I will make an effort to be a government that gives young people hope, and that communicates well.”

South Korean presidents, who are elected to a single, five-year term, have a history of seeing their support crumble the longer they are in office, making it more difficult to achieve policy objectives because they’re seen as lame ducks.

Choi, the economics professor, said Moon had allowed political pressure to sway his decisions.

“He’s made this bid for a fair economy, as well as an innovative one, which are supposed to be mutually supplementary,” Choi said. “But he’s too quickly shifted his focus from the former to the latter because he’s getting criticism from the labor unions.”

Don't shift blame over wartime labour ruling, Tokyo tells S.Korea

TOKYO, Jan 11 (Reuters) - Remarks by South Korean President Moon Jae-in on the issue of forced wartime labour were "extremely regrettable", Japan's top government spokesman said on Friday, describing him as trying to shift Seoul's responsibility to Japan.

The comments suggest escalating tension between the two nations after Moon on Thursday urged Japan's political leaders not to undermine ties by "politicising" the issue of South Koreans forced to work by Japanese companies during World War Two.

"President Moon's remarks are trying to shift South Korea's responsibility to Japan and it is extremely regrettable," Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told a regular news conference.

Relations between the East Asian neighbours have been frosty since South Korea's top court ruled in October that Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corp should compensate four former labourers.

The latest flare-up came after a South Korean court this month approved the seizure of part of the domestic assets of the Japanese steelmaker.

In response, Tokyo demanded diplomatic consultations with Seoul over the issue on Wednesday.

Japan believes that all such claims were settled in a 1965 treaty that normalized relations, Suga said on Friday, and that Seoul has now broken that treaty.

"We think South Korea will respond sincerely," he said.

Ties are also strained over the issue of whether a South Korean warship had locked its targeting radar on a Japanese patrol plane last month.

Stop the escalating crisis in Japan-South Korea ties

Jan 11, 2019

The dispute between Japan and South Korea over Koreans mobilized for wartime labor in Japan has escalated yet again after a South Korean court approved the seizure of local assets of a leading Japanese steel-maker that had been ordered to pay damages to the former laborers — even though a 1965 bilateral agreement to settle property claims resolved the compensation issue. Seoul has rebuffed Tokyo’s calls to resolve the case on the basis of the 1965 accord, saying that it respects the judiciary’s decision, and President Moon Jae-in, in his new year’s news conference this week, accused Japan of “politicizing” the issue and “making sources of controversy and spreading them.”

The two governments have also remained at odds over the alleged radar lock-on incident that took place between the South Korean Navy and a Self-Defense Forces aircraft late last month. The situation is nothing less than a crisis in relations between Japan and South Korea, which, along with their mutual ally, the United States, need to be united in the effort to end North Korea’s nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs. The crisis must not be left to fester. We urge Moon to make a rational decision to address the dispute and stop bilateral ties from spiraling further downward.

South Korea’s Supreme Court in October ordered Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corp. to pay damages to four Koreans mobilized to work for one of the steel-maker’s predecessors during World War II — while Korea was under Japan’s colonial rule from 1910 to 1945 — as it determined that individual South Koreans have not lost their right to seek damages for wartime labor. Japan protested that such a court decision runs counter to the 1965 agreement, which accompanied the basic treaty that normalized diplomatic ties between the two countries, and urged the South Korean government to take appropriate steps in line with the agreement. Seoul, however, has not done so. The top court has since handed down a similar ruling ordering Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. to compensate two groups of South Koreans for wartime labor, and more similar lawsuits targeting other Japanese companies are pending in South Korean courts.

The plaintiffs in the lawsuit, meanwhile, requested a seizure of the assets of Nippon Steel & Sumotomo Metal in South Korea after the steel-maker, as urged by the Japanese government, refused to comply with the top court order. Earlier this month, a South Korean court approved the plaintiffs’ request, and a partial seizure of shares that the Japanese firm holds in its joint venture with South Korean steel-maker Posco became effective when the court notice of its decision was delivered earlier this week to the joint venture. Speculation has surfaced that if the seized assets are put on sale, Japan may consider retaliatory action — possibly including tariff hikes on imports from South Korea or a tightening of visa requirements on South Korean visitors. There is a danger that retaliatory steps by both sides could spiral out of control.

On Wednesday, the Japanese government requested that Tokyo and Seoul hold formal talks as stipulated by the 1965 agreement, which provides for governmental talks as a means to resolve disputes that arise over its interpretation. It is the first time that such talks have been requested under the 1965 agreement. However, it remains unclear whether South Korea will agree to hold them. The agreement provides for the launch of an arbitration committee that includes members from a third country if the talks between Tokyo and Seoul go nowhere. But the consent of both governments is needed to hold the bilateral talks and launch an arbitration committee. As a last resort, Japan could take the case to the International Court of Justice, but it also needs South Korea’s consent to do so.

In his news conference Thursday, Moon said Japan needs to understand that the South Korean government has to honor the top court’s decision due to a separation of powers. He also said it would take time before his government can act on the wartime labor dispute, saying he needs to wait for the investigation into suspicions that the South Korean judiciary delayed its ruling on the issue under his ousted predecessor, Park Geun-hye. Moon’s remarks make it look like the president, who appears ready to play up to domestic anti-Japan sentiment, has no intention of taking any measures to stop the dispute from escalating.

That does not mean the crisis should be left unaddressed. The dispute led to the shelving of a potential visit to Japan by Moon last year. Further suspension of diplomatic dialogue will endanger cooperation between the two countries at a time when it’s badly needed as the region tries to resolve the North Korea problem. While maintaining its position over the wartime labor issue, Tokyo should also explore a political solution to what could otherwise take a lasting toll on bilateral relations.

South Korea says Japan failed to show definitive proof of radar lock-on

Kyodo
Jan 15, 2019

SEOUL - The South Korean Defense Ministry on Tuesday said Tokyo failed in talks the previous day to provide definitive evidence backing its claim that a South Korean warship locked its radar on a Japanese plane.

Speaking at a news briefing, ministry spokeswoman Choi Hyun-soo also said that during Monday’s talks Japan demanded to see radar data of the destroyer as a condition for disclosing some information of its own in connection with the incident last month. She criticized the request, calling it “extremely rude.”

In the meeting “Japan did not disclose the radar frequency data that it has about our warship … and instead only asked for information from South Korea. Such a demand is extremely rude and unacceptable,” Choi said.

She added that Tokyo’s attitude cannot be interpreted as anything else but a lack of desire to settle the matter.

Regarding Seoul’s claim that the Japanese surveillance plane was flying menacingly low toward the South Korean ship, another key point of contention in the incident, Japan seemed to take some responsibility, Choi said.

In response, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told a news conference that Japanese officials and South Korean officials have discussed “major issues” but “have failed to narrow gaps in understanding” over whether or not the South Korean destroyer locked its fire-control radar on the Japanese plane.

Suga declined to comment when asked if Tokyo had shared electric wave data that could serve as evidence.

The defense authorities of both countries held talks in Singapore on Monday over the alleged radar lock-on incident, which has chilled bilateral ties.

Both sides said after the talks that they could not iron out differences over what happened in the Sea of Japan last month. No date was set for subsequent talks.

Tokyo maintains that the destroyer locked its fire-control radar on a Maritime Self-Defense Force surveillance plane on Dec. 20.

Seoul contends that the warship was merely using radar to search for a drifting North Korean fishing boat and has demanded an apology from Japan.

Also Tuesday, Seoul removed a description labelling North Korea an “enemy” in its latest defense white paper, reflecting the dramatic improvement in inter-Korean relations over the past year.

The move is in line with an agreement reached at the inter-Korean summit held in April last year to halt “all hostile acts” against each other.

A South Korean government official said it would be contradictory to negotiate measures to resolve hostilities with North Korea while continuing to describe it as an enemy.

The previous defense white paper released two years ago stated, “The North’s weapons of mass destruction … pose a major threat to our security. … As long as these threats continue, the North Korean regime and its military are our enemy.”

The latest edition, however, still says the North’s weapons of mass destruction “pose a major threat to the peace and security of the Korean Peninsula,” a defense official said in a briefing about the white paper.

The paper also mentioned the “high state of readiness” of South Korea’s army against an “unexpected provocation,” adding that the two Koreas will continue to build trust based on the military agreement signed during the third inter-Korean summit.

In the white paper, a section was removed that described Seoul’s relationship with Tokyo as one comprising “(shared) basic values of democracy and the market economy.”

Some Korean media outlets opined that the move reflects worsening bilateral relations over a series of court rulings on wartime forced labor and the radar incident.

Pelo que se comenta foi a Coreia do Sul que fugiu, os japoneses querem comparar os dados do radar do navio da Coreia do Sul com os dados recolhidos pelo P-1, a Coreia do Sul quer os dados que dos japoneses para eles próprios verificar se os dados estão corretos...

Porem disseram que os dados do P-1 batem com o banco de dados da Msdf, recolhidos no passado em exercícios conjuntos, uma coisa que eu não sabia sobre radares de fogo, mesmo que vários navios utilizem o mesmo modelo do mesmo fabricante, cada radar tem um comprimento de ondas para se diferenciar entre outros navios tipo um DNA, com isto se pode evitar fogo amigo.

Many boats likely from N Korea left neglected on Sea of Japan coast
Today 01:00 pm JST 36 Comments
AOMORI


Many wooden boats believed to have drifted from North Korea to the Sea of Japan coast in the northeast have been left neglected on site against the desire of local residents due to a lack of financial resources.

Local governments cannot keep pace with the number of boats arriving every winter across the Sea of Japan. There have been a string of cases in which bodies often reduced to skeletons have been discovered in the vessels.

The Japan Coast Guard has confirmed more than 80 such dilapidated and deserted boats have arrived since last November on the shores of Aomori, Akita and Yamagata prefectures.

On Sunday, a fishing boat with a broken engine with two men claiming they were from North Korea was found floating off Fukaura, Aomori Prefecture.

Local residents and authorities want the boats removed as they are an eye-sore that affects tourism, while local fisherman complain of oil leakages and having their nets caught up in the abandoned vessels.

According to the Environment Ministry, removing a boat -- which is treated as industrial waste with the wood and metal divided up and disposed of by contractors -- costs around 1 million yen.

Municipal governments have used money budgeted for the disposal of oceanic debris for this purpose, but with the number of North Korean boats arriving on these shores not letting up, many are looking at the bottom of the barrel.

The central Japanese government can subsidize the whole cost but the process for applying for the additional funds takes considerable time. If the removal work starts prior to the approval, the full cost falls to the local government, making it difficult for a quick resolution.

Since last November, 12 boats believed to be from North Korea have been washed up in Fukaura, upsetting residents like Kazunobu Shibata, 67, who found a large vessel on the beach behind his house on Nov. 20. The boat has remained moored on site by the Japan Coast Guard as of Wednesday.

"I see it from morning to night and want it to be taken away as soon as possible," Shibata said.

In Fukaura, where most of the 12 derelict boats have yet to be removed, tourists who ride the popular "Resort Shirakami" train along the scenic coastal route by the Sea of Japan have their view marred by three deteriorating boats.

Numerous reports have been made by concerned tourists, leading a town official to say, "We don't want the boats to be seen by tourists."

Another official of a coastal municipality called on the central government to facilitate the swift removal of boats following their discovery.

Tribunal da Coréia do Sul defende decisão contra empresa japonesa sobre trabalho de guerra
18 de janeiro de 2019

SEUL (KYODO) - Uma corte sul-coreana confirmou nesta sexta-feira uma ordem de compensação contra a fabricante de máquinas japonesa Nachi-Fujikoshi Corp. sobre o trabalho forçado, o mais recente de uma série de decisões sobre a controvérsia que congelou os laços entre Japão e Coréia do Sul.

O Tribunal Superior de Seul confirmou uma decisão da corte inferior que concedia entre 80 milhões e 100 milhões de won ($ 71.300- $ 89.200) cada um em danos a 13 mulheres sul-coreanas e as famílias de outras quatro pessoas que haviam morrido.

Na decisão de outubro de 2014, o Tribunal Distrital Central de Seul determinou que os indivíduos têm o direito de buscar reparação, embora o Japão e a Coréia do Sul tenham resolvido questões da era colonial e normalizado relações diplomáticas sob um tratado bilateral de 1965.

Os queixosos alegaram na ação que foram enganados por irem estudar em Toyama, uma cidade no centro do Japão, e forçados a realizar trabalhos pesados sem comida e sono suficientes.

A empresa sediada em Tóquio posteriormente apelou da decisão.

Em outubro e novembro do ano passado, a Suprema Corte sul-coreana decidiu contra duas empresas japonesas, a Nippon Steel e a Sumitomo Metal Corp. e a Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd., em casos semelhantes decorrentes do recrutamento de trabalhadores durante o governo colonial coreano entre 1910 e 1945. Península.

Essas decisões e decisões judiciais posteriores contra firmas japonesas provocaram protestos de Tóquio e congelaram os laços já congelados entre os dois países.

A tensão aumentou quando um tribunal sul-coreano se mobilizou neste mês para apreender os ativos da Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal na Coréia do Sul a pedido de advogados de demandantes que venceram um dos casos na Suprema Corte.

O veredicto de sexta-feira foi a primeira decisão judicial envolvendo Nachi-Fujikoshi sobre o trabalho em tempo de guerra desde as decisões da primeira instância. Mais duas decisões devem ser emitidas contra a empresa neste mês.

Em uma coletiva de imprensa após a decisão, os advogados que representam os demandantes instaram a Nachi-Fujikoshi a não apelar da decisão para a Suprema Corte e, em vez disso, a dialogar com eles para descobrir a melhor maneira de compensar.

"Outras empresas japonesas apresentaram revisões ou apelações em seus casos à luz das decisões nos tribunais sul-coreanos, provavelmente para evitar que seus casos sejam finalizados", disse Lim Jae Sung, um dos advogados. "Eu não acho que estes sejam cursos de ação apropriados, dado que os queixosos estão ficando mais velhos e não têm muitos dias para viver".

Em Tóquio, na sexta-feira, um grupo cívico no Japão visitou a sede da Mitsubishi Heavy Industries e entregou uma carta de advogados representando os demandantes que venceram a Suprema Corte em novembro.

Na carta, os advogados pedem à Mitsubishi Heavy Industries que mantenha negociações sobre compensação, e dizem que podem buscar a apreensão dos ativos da empresa na Coréia do Sul se a empresa não responder "sinceramente" até o final de fevereiro.

A posição do governo japonês é que o direito de buscar indenização foi rescindido sob um acordo anexo ao tratado que trata de questões relativas à propriedade, e que as reivindicações entre os dois países e seus povos foram resolvidas "completa e finalmente".

O governo sul-coreano disse que deve respeitar as decisões judiciais como uma questão de separação de poderes, alertando os líderes japoneses contra a inflamação do assunto.

Japan to release new evidence on South Korea's radar lock on plane

January 19, 2019 14:43 JST

TOKYO (Kyodo) -- The government plans to release new evidence it says proves its claim that a South Korean warship locked its fire-control radar on a Japanese plane, a government source said Saturday.

It is considering making public an audio recording from the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force patrol plane that it claims was targeted over the Sea of Japan on Dec. 20, the source said.

Tokyo released in late December video footage of the alleged incident in which it says the vessel engaged a radar system that measures how far away a target is and its direction of travel.

South Korea maintains Japan has presented no definitive proof to back its claim.

The intensity of radio waves used by the radar tend to be constant and powerful, and the footage showed an MSDF crew member remarking on the Japanese plane's systems picking up an "extremely strong" reading.

Japan will decide on whether to release the audio recording after Defense Minister Takeshi Iwaya returns from the United States on Sunday, according to the source.

"We should avoid any misunderstanding among Japanese citizens and the international community. We have to explain what happened," Iwaya told reporters while visiting Hawaii.

Japanese and South Korean officials have held talks but so far failed to overcome their differences.

Japão revela evidências de áudio e encerra negociações com a Coréia do Sul por disputa de radar

por Reiji Yoshida
21 de janeiro de 2019

O Ministério da Defesa anunciou na segunda-feira que encerrará as conversações com seu colega sul-coreano sobre a disputa por radar, revelando o que afirma ser um som convertido por ondas de rádio do sistema de radar de controle de fogo de um destróier sul-coreano.

O arquivo de som de 18 segundos, se genuíno, mostrou que ondas de radar contínuas e intensas foram direcionadas para o avião de patrulha anti-submarino P-1 operado pela Força de Autodefesa Marítima do Japão em 20 de dezembro no Mar do Japão.

Os padrões de onda eram totalmente diferentes das ondas de radar de busca de superfície que, segundo Seul, estavam sendo usadas pelo destróier Gwanggaeto da Marinha sul-coreana, disseram autoridades de defesa japonesas.

"Acreditamos que uma terceira parte estaria convencida de que o que dissemos é verdade se eles examinarem os sons, um vídeo e outros materiais de maneira abrangente", disse um alto funcionário do Ministério da Defesa que informou repórteres no ministério, referindo-se em particular. para 13 minutos de filmagens.

O vídeo também incluiu a voz do piloto da aeronave MSDF P-1, que, segundo o ministério, ouviu o mesmo radar ao voar perto do destróier.

Autoridades japonesas disseram ter identificado as ondas do FC (controle de fogo) como sendo dirigidas pelo sistema de controle de fogo STIR-180 do destróier sul-coreano.

No entanto, ainda não está claro - e talvez seja improvável - que a evidência recém-revelada colocará um fim à disputa entre Tóquio e Seul.

Autoridades japonesas disseram que processaram as ondas sonoras para proteger detalhes técnicos militares sensíveis relacionados ao sistema de radar STIR-180 usado pelo destróier sul-coreano, porque é usado também por outros países, como Tailândia, Canadá e Taiwan. Tóquio também precisa limitar o conhecimento mais amplo das habilidades de seus próprios equipamentos que receberam e analisaram as formas de onda, também, disseram eles. Assim, os sons sozinhos não são uma prova fumegante que comprove a suposta direção do radar pelo destróier sul-coreano. Mas junto com as imagens de vídeo e outros materiais revelados por Tóquio, os padrões sonoros serviriam como evidências suficientemente poderosas para convencer países terceiros de que a alegação do Japão está correta, argumentou o alto funcionário do Ministério da Defesa.

Pouco depois das 17 horas, o Ministério da Defesa carregou o arquivo de áudio e os materiais informativos em inglês e coreano em seu site.

No comunicado, o ministério disse que encerraria suas conversas de nível de trabalho com sua contraparte sul-coreana sobre a disputa de radar porque a Coréia do Sul "tem repetido alegações de que ... diferem da verdade" e "uma determinação objetiva e neutra dos fatos baseada no princípio". de reciprocidade deve (agora) ser considerado difícil ”.

Tóquio propusera que o Japão e a Coréia do Sul apresentassem simultaneamente os registros de dados do radar uns aos outros em uma reunião fechada, para determinar se o que o Japão detectou eram ondas de rádio do sistema de radar do FC em questão. Mas Seul rejeitou essa proposta, segundo autoridades japonesas.

Enquanto isso, a Coréia do Sul afirmou que a aeronave P-1 estava voando perto do destróier, dizendo que conduziu "um voo ameaçador de baixa altitude" contra a embarcação sul-coreana.

Na segunda-feira, o Ministério da Defesa do Japão também revelou as altitudes detalhadas e os vôos da aeronave P-1 naquela época, dizendo que a MSDF P-1 mantinha uma altitude suficientemente segura de 150 metros e uma distância de 500 metros do destróier. mais próximo.

O P-1 não realizou um vôo que possa interromper as atividades do destróier, o ministério também disse.

Mesmo antes deste incidente, o MSDF havia realizado voos semelhantes e fotografou o mesmo destróier sul-coreano em questão três vezes. Mas as autoridades sul-coreanas não expressaram preocupação com nenhum desses voos, disse o ministério.

A MSDF tirou essas fotografias em 27 de abril, 28 de abril e 23 de agosto do ano passado, a uma altitude de 150 metros de cada vez, de acordo com o Ministério da Defesa. Não revelou seus locais.

A resposta das autoridades sul-coreanas não estava imediatamente disponível.

O Ministério da Defesa do Japão "solicitou provas objetivas adicionais para apoiar a reivindicação da ROK nas reuniões de trabalho, mas a República da Coréia não forneceu tais evidências e repetidamente respondeu com alegações que carecem de objetividade", disse o ministério em comunicado. ROK é o acrónimo do nome formal da Coreia do Sul ou República da Coreia.

“Dito isto, nossa postura permanece inalterada no Japão-ROK e Japão-ROK-U.S. A cooperação em matéria de defesa é extremamente importante e é indispensável para enfrentar os desafios da segurança, como a questão nuclear e dos mísseis na Coreia do Norte, e para manter a estabilidade do ambiente de segurança na Ásia Oriental. Esperamos que este anúncio leve à prevenção de incidentes similares no futuro ”, disse o ministério.

S. Korea releases 5 photos of Japan's 'threatening' flyby close to its warship
January 24, 2019

SEOUL, Jan. 24 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's military on Thursday released five photos captured from two videos of a Japanese warplane's "threatening" low-altitude flyby close to its destroyer a day earlier.

The disclosure came as Tokyo rejected Seoul's claim that its P-1 maritime patrol plane buzzed by South Korea's 4,500-ton destroyer Daejoyeong at an altitude of 60 to 70 meters and just 540 meters away in international waters south of the peninsula on Wednesday.

The Korean Navy filmed what it called Japan's "provocative" flight with an infrared camera and handheld camcorder on the destroyer during the incident that sharply heightened tensions between the neighbors.

Seoul initially mulled releasing the videos but decided later to disclose just still photos, apparently in line with its stance to "act with restraint."

One photo from the camcorder showed the Japanese plane passing over the starboard side of the destroyer at an altitude of around 60 meters.

Another photo from the infrared camera showed the plane flying just 540 meters away from the destroyer.

The Korean military has condemned the latest incident, warning that should such a case be repeated again, it will "strongly" respond in line with its rules of conduct.

Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha also voiced regrets over the flyby during her talks with Japanese counterpart Taro Kono on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland on Wednesday.

The latest flyby is just the third of its kind this month alone. Japan's military aircraft flew close to Korea's 7,600-ton Yulgok YiYi destroyer last Friday and 4,500-ton Nojeokbong landing ship on Tuesday.

Japanese Defense Minister Takeshi Iwaya rejected Seoul's claim, saying the Maritime Self-Defense Force "properly" operated its plane "in line with international law." During a press briefing, Tokyo's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga simply noted the importance of communication between the two neighbors.

Some observers here raised the possibility that Japan might have deliberately carried out such a flight to cause the Korean Navy to use a weapons tracking radar to build a case against Seoul.

The Korean military is considering strengthening the "intensity" of warnings against what it calls an intimidating flight and other measures. It refused to elaborate on its operational plans.

It could consider issuing stronger-worded statements in the warning or deploying its nearby patrol aircraft in case of another close-range flyby by Japan, a source said.

"We are fleshing out procedures to respond to a threatening close-range flight to our warship," Seoul's Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a text message sent to reporters.

"We cannot confirm details on our operations and call for your understanding," it added.

Seoul and Tokyo have already been in a monthlong spat over a South Korean warship's radar operation for a humanitarian mission to rescue a North Korean warship in distress on Dec. 20.

Tokyo claimed that a South Korean destroyer locked its fire-control radar on its patrol aircraft.

Seoul rejected the charge, saying the warship was on a humanitarian mission. It later accused the Japanese plane of conducting a threateningly low-altitude flight toward its destroyer.
