North Korean leader ‘convinced’ dialogue won’t change US hostility
The chairman of the Military Committee of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization arrived in South Korea on Monday for a four-day visit which includes a meeting with the chairman of South Korea's Joint Chief of Staff, the military said.
Having arrived in Seoul in the morning, Chairman Petr Pavel, who is a Czech army general, will hold a meeting with JCS Chairman Lee Sun-jin later in the day to discuss military cooperation between South Korea and NATO, the JCS said in a press release.
During his visit, Pavel also plans to call on Defense Minister Han Min-koo and visit the Joint Security Area, the heavily-guarded inter-Korean truce village, according to the JCS.
Pavel's visit marks the first time a chairman of NATO's Military Committee has set foot on South Korean soil, the JCS said.
"With Military Committee Chairman Pavel's visit, the actual military cooperation between South Korea and NATO will be further cemented," the JCS said. (Yonhap)
