Abstract:
The second CNA-Korean Institute of Maritime Strategy KIMS workshop on ROK Navy and US Navy cooperation was held in Seoul, Korea, on 20 November 2008. The primary objective of this institutional collaboration is to assist in improving the working relationship between the US Navy and the Republic of Korea Navy. The concept is to provide a Track II venue where retired and serving officers from both navies, along with civilian experts, can meet in an unofficial atmosphere that permits a candid exchange of views on strategic outlooks and shared interests associated with the maritime domain. This conference is a specific deliverable associated with the CNA project entitled KIMS-CNA Track II Conference Series, sponsored by Commander Pacific Fleet.
