Japan and South Korea are considering resuming security talks between their foreign and defense ministry officials, a Japanese government source said Wednesday, in another sign of improving bilateral relations, APA reports citing Kyodo News.

The resumption of a security dialogue is expected to be agreed upon by Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and his South Korean counterpart Yoon Suk Yeol when they meet in Tokyo on Thursday, according to the source.

The moves come after the two East Asian nations effectively agreed last week to resolve a wartime labor compensation dispute that strained Tokyo-Seoul ties in recent years.
