South Korea's Navy chief Adm. Jung Ho-sub will visit the United States to discuss ways to coordinate joint responses to North Korea's provocations, the military said Sunday.
Adm. Jung Ho-sub will leave for the United States for a weeklong trip and hold talks with top leaders in the US Navy, the country's Navy said.
It said the chief of naval operations will meet US Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus, his counterpart Adm. John Richardson and head of the US' Pacific fleet Scott Swift, according to South Korea's (Yonhap) News Agency.
"During the talks, Jung will discuss how best to strengthen Seoul and Washington's naval response to North Korean provocations if they occur," a military official said.
He said that the four-star admiral will also touch on plans to further develop South Korea's Navy and calls for strengthening already strong ties between the naval arms of the two allies.
