S Korea-Poland-defense cooperation
S. Korea's arms agency, Polish gov't discuss bilateral defense cooperation
SEOUL, Sept. 4 (Yonhap) -- Senior officials of South Korea's state arms procurement agency met with Polish government officials earlier this week to explore ways to deepen bilateral cooperation in the defense sector, officials said Thursday.
The meeting with Poland's vice defense minister and vice minister of state assets took place on the sidelines of an international defense industry exhibition in Kielce, Poland, according to the South's Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA).
The two sides discussed ways to strengthen defense cooperation, including maintenance support for weapons exported to Poland and potential areas for future partnership, it added.
Poland has emerged as a key destination for South Korea's defense exports in recent years as the European nation has clinched a series of deals to acquire K2 tanks, K9 self-propelled howitzers and FA-50 light attack aircraft.
This year, Poland signed a deal worth about US$6.5 billion to purchase the second batch of K2 tanks from Hyundai Rotem Co., marking the country's largest-ever arms export contract.
