Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps she is taking to enhance defence and security co-operation with South Korea.
We committed in the Strategic Defence and Security Review (2015) to deepen our relationship with South Korea as a priority partner in Asia. Two Royal Navy Ships visited South Korea in 2018, and we have carried out regular exercise and training activity. This included combined amphibious training in Exercise SSANGYONG 18, supported by HMS SUTHERLAND.
