韩国和日本将在中断九年后恢复海上联合搜救演习。国防部长安圭白于5月30日宣布，在与日本防卫大臣于新加坡会谈后，演习将于6月7日举行。
国防部长安圭白在香格里拉对话期间与日本防卫大臣小泉进次郎举行双边会谈时公布了该计划。演习将在济州岛东南部的公海举行，参演装备包括韩国海军的“天王峰”号（ROKS Cheon Ja Bong）登陆舰、日本的“金刚”级驱逐舰以及一架日本海上巡逻直升机。
SAREX双年度演习始于1999年，但在2017年第十次演习后中止。2018年12月发生的一起涉及日本巡逻机与韩国军舰的事件导致双边关系恶化。
双方曾在2024年6月及今年1月的会谈中达成重启演习的共识。安圭白称此次重启具有高度象征意义，小泉进次郎则强调了区域安全合作的必要性。
