South Korea, US discuss cooperation in US arms maintenance

Seoul, The Gulf Observer: South Korea and the United States have agreed to expand the participation of South Korean companies in the maintenance of US military equipment in the Indo-Pacific region, the defence ministry said Tuesday.

The two sides discussed such efforts during logistics policy talks in San Diego last Wednesday, according to the South Korean News Agency (YONHAP).

The two sides shared the need to expand the use of logistics capabilities of US allies in the Indo-Pacific region, citing changes in the security environment, supply chain uncertainties and increasing regional conflicts, the ministry said.
