South Korea and the US have strengthened naval cooperation against North Korean submarines after North Korea’s torpedo attack on a Seoul warship.
As part of the cooperation agreement, the navies of both countries will strengthen joint anti-submarine exercises and intelligence sharing while monitoring North Korean submarines, according to yonhapnews.
The two navies will also work together in a US-led anti-proliferation exercise aimed to stop North Korean vessels operating in South Korean waters.
South Korean Navy Chief of Staff Admiral Kim Sung-chan said the agreement would lay the groundwork for the navies of the two nations to consolidate the bilateral alliance.
