According to Seoul's Cyber Operations Command on Monday, an eleven-member team is participating as a partner country in Cyber Coalition 2023, set to take place in Estonia from Monday through Friday. South Korea, which attended last year’s event as an observer, will send 3 soldiers to participate in the exercise in person, while 8 other soldiers will participate online.

This year's drills will focus on sharing threat information and coming up with the most effective response to a simulated cyber-attack on national infrastructure.

At a meeting in Lithuania in July, South Korea and NATO signed a cooperation agreement called "Partnership program tailored to each country", fostering cooperation in 11 areas, including anti-terrorism, nuclear non-proliferation, and cyber defense.
