Defense minister to mount campaign on sunken ship at security forum
By Kim Deok-hyun
SEOUL, June 3 (Yonhap) -- Defense Minister Kim Tae-young headed to Singapore Thursday for an annual security forum, which will include discussions about North Korea and reining in its belligerent behavior.
President Lee Myung-bak is making an unusual appearance at the forum of mostly defense chiefs and will give a keynote speech, just one of South Korea's broad efforts to ramp up international support as it seeks to punish North Korea for attacking one of its warships in March. | | Data picture |
Defense Minister Kim has scheduled a flurry of bilateral talks on the sideline of the three-day Asia Security Summit, including Ma Xiaotian, deputy chief of the General Staff of China's People's Liberation Army.
