Navy chiefs of S. Korea, Ecuador discuss strengthening cooperation
SEOUL, April 8 (Yonhap) -- The top naval commanders of South Korea and Ecuador held talks Tuesday to discuss ways to expand military and arms industry cooperation, the Navy said.
Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Yang Yong-mo met his Ecuadorian counterpart, Miguel Santiago Cordova Chehab, at the Navy's headquarters in Gyeryong, about 140 kilometers south of Seoul, for the talks on bilateral cooperation.
The two sides discussed increasing personnel exchanges and warship port visits, and signed a memorandum of understanding for their navies to hold regular talks.
Cordova will attend a ceremony Wednesday for the transfer of a 3,000-ton Coast Guard patrol vessel to the Ecuadorian Navy at a shipyard in Mokpo, some 310 kilometers south of Seoul.
The government announced last year it would donate the ship, which has been renamed the Jambeli.
