A Canadian delegation of defense ministry officials has recently visited several key air defense facilities of the Korean Air Force to observe their system, according to sources. On Tuesday, the delegation toured the Korea Air and Missile Defense (KAMD) operations center at Osan Air Base in Pyeongtaek, located approximately 60 kilometers south of Seoul. The Canadian officials are set to visit Hanwha Aerospace's manufacturing facilities in Changwon, a southeastern city in South Korea, on Thursday.
Earlier, the delegation had visited LIG Defense & Aerospace in Gumi, situated about 200 kilometers southeast of Seoul, on Monday. The visit aims to strengthen Canada's integrated air and missile defense (IAMD) capabilities, which is crucial for deterring and defending against air and missile threats in the rapidly changing strategic environment.
This move is part of Canada's efforts to modernize its binational military organization with the United States, known as the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), to bolster defense capabilities.
