| ROK, Japan defense chiefs set for talks on closer military ties | |
| 2011-01-10 | |
SEOUL, Jan. 10 (Yonhap) -- South Korean and Japanese defense chiefs were due to hold talks Monday aimed at pursuing closer military cooperation, officials here said, amid mounting tension over North Korea's recent provocations.
The talks are likely to focus on the prospect of signing two separate agreements to facilitate sharing of military information and cooperation in exchanging military goods and services such as food, fuel and transportation during peacetime operations such as peacekeeping and disaster rescue efforts, Seoul's officials said. However, Monday's talks are likely to be limited to confirming a common understanding in strengthening military ties between the two neighbors, officials said. South Korea still remains sensitive about deepening military relations, given the bitterness over Tokyo's brutal colonization of the Korean Peninsula in early 20th century. | |

| #2 IIRC BHARAT RAKSHAK OR INDIAN DEFENCE FORUM [old]> Elite IRANIAN IRGC Members have repor caught in SRI LANKA or MYANMAR as per illegal INTEL-GATHERING ACTIVITIES. to include possibly trying to set up one or more local ISLAMIST CELL??? On the surface it appears to be nominal given that the Iranian personages were captured > IMO THE GREATER LESSON HERE IS THAT IRAN DESIRES INFLUENCE [pro-Islamist?] IN THE INDIAN OCEAN = SOUTH + SOUTHEAST ASIA BEYOND THE CONFINES OF AFPAK [West Asia]. US-VS-CHINA-VS-NUCLEAR-ISLAM/RADICAL-ISLAM for Power + Influence in Asia-Pacific. |
