SKorea seeks more naval drills with PH

AFTER assisting the Philippines in its modernization program, the Republic of Korea Navy (ROKN) now wants to take it a step further by having "more future engagements to strengthen the strategic relationships" between the two countries.

Admiral Lee Jong-Ho, chief of the Naval Operations of ROKN, expressed this during a courtesy call on Vice Admiral Toribio Adaci Jr., flag officer in command, at the Philippine Navy Headquarters on Tuesday, said Capt. Benjo Negranza, Naval Public Affairs Office director, on Wednesday.
