South Korea and Norway on Monday signed an agreement on defense cooperation, calling for exchange of defense goods and related technologies, South Korea's Yonhap News Agency said.
The pact allows the two countries to provide more detailed information on their weapons systems to each other, which can also be viewed as a sign of an apparent start of meaningful deals, Yonhap quoted unnamed South Korean official as saying.
The agreement was signed by visiting Norwegian Vice Defense Minister Espen Barth Eide and his South Korean counterpart Kim Jong-cheon, the South Korean Defense Ministry said.
The two nations have no substantive exchange of defense goods currently, the Defense Acquisition Program Administration, South Korea's sole defense procurement office said.
Yonhap said Norway was studying South Korea's T-50 supersonic fighter jet and other weapons systems for a possible purchase.
