Seoul, Paris hold talks on military cooperation
SEOUL, Dec. 19 (Yonhap) -- South Korea and France on Friday held high-level
military talks to seek ways to increase defense cooperation and enhance their
mutual understanding of current international security issues, the defense
ministry said.
"At the talks, the two sides exchanged views on regional security conditions
while each side presented their defense policies, defense reform measures and
international peacekeeping operations," the ministry said in a press release.
Seoul and Paris have held the annual military dialogue since 1996. The two
nations upgraded the talks last year to deputy-ministerial level. Seoul's deputy
defense minister for policy, Jeon Jei-guk, and Michael Miraillet, director of the
policy and strategic affairs department at the French defense ministry, led the
talks.
