President’s Office “Deriving a more robust cooperation plan than ever”… Derivation of separate documents for cyber cooperation
Following the support of the ‘Declaration of the Future of the Internet’, consider joining the ‘Online Freedom Coalition’… Strengthen cyber solidarity
(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Ahn Jung-won = President Yoon Seok-yeol and US President Joe Biden are looking at a joint press conference between the US and South Korea leaders held at the auditorium of the Presidential Office in Yongsan, Seoul on the 21st. 2022.5.21 [email protected]
(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Jeong Ah-ran and Han Ji-hoon = South Korea and the United States will promote a plan to significantly expand the level of cybersecurity cooperation between the two countries through the Korea-US summit to be held in Washington on the 26th.
According to the Presidential Office on the 17th, the two countries are continuing intensive discussions to come up with a plan to significantly expand the level of cooperation between the two countries, such as adopting a separate document on ‘cyber security cooperation’ with the summit as an opportunity.
A high-ranking official in the presidential office met with reporters at the Yongsan government building that followingnoon and said, “We expect that President Yoon Seok-yeol’s state visit to the United States will come up with a stronger and stronger cyber and information cooperation plan than ever before.”
The official continued, “Korea and the U.S. are in the process of expanding the scope of cooperation between allies to information and cyberspace.”
It is also expected that there will be discussions on ways to strengthen trilateral security cooperation at the ROK-US-Japan level.
In particular, it is expected that the focus will be on strengthening cooperation, such as expanding the scope of information sharing, in preparation for a ‘hybrid warfare’ that uses not only existing military power but also various means such as cyber attacks.
Kim Tae-hyo, first deputy director of the National Security Office, met with reporters at Incheon International Airport on the 15th following completing a business trip to the United States to coordinate President Yoon’s visit to the United States, and regarding whether Japan would be included in the Korea-US “intelligence alliance,” he said, “There is a high possibility, but it will depend on the case in stages. It can be reviewed,” he said.
After the Korea-U.S. summit, some kind of outcome related to this is expected to come out at the Korea-US-Japan summit, which is being coordinated with the G7 summit in Hiroshima, Japan in late May.
Some predict the possibility of establishing a Korea-US-Japan intelligence consultative body comparable to ‘Five Eyes’, an intelligence alliance of five English-speaking countries including the US, UK and Canada.
It is known that South Korea is also considering declaring its membership in the ‘Online Freedom Coalition’ (FOC), an organization established to promote Internet freedom, on the occasion of the Korea-US summit.
Previously, in April of last year, the United States announced the ‘Declaration for the Future of the Internet’, which stated that it would establish a new internet order and ‘create an open, trustworthy, and safe internet environment’.
At the time, unlike the majority of member states of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and some 60 countries classified as democratic camps such as Japan and Australia, the former Moon Jae-in administration did not list their names on the list of participating countries.
However, at the ROK-US summit held in Seoul on May 21 last year, immediately following the launch of the new government, President Yoon expressed his intention to support the declaration.
Following the ‘Internet Future Declaration’ and ‘FOC’ membership review, it seems that they will make it clear that they will stand in the liberal camp led by the West in cyberspace, which has emerged as a stage of fierce camp conflict.
