Yoon becomes 1st S. Korean to receive briefings at Pentagon, DARPA

WASHINGTON, D.C. – President Yoon Suk Yeol visited the U.S. Pentagon’s National Military Command Center (NMCC) and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Thursday (local time), where he received briefings from U.S. military leadership. Yoon, who is on a state visit to the U.S., is the first South Korean president to visit the NMCC and the first foreign leader to visit DARPA. It appears to be a symbolic gesture from the U.S. to show its commitment to the Seoul-Washington alliance. It is also seen as a follow-up measure to the Washington Declaration, which mandates the two countries’ leaders to discuss nuclear and strategic planning against North Korea’s threats.
