Germany Joins UN Command in South Korea To Signal ‘Our Strong Commitment to the Indo-Pacific Strategy’
‘Our two nations are linked by the experience of a nation divided by an iron curtain,’ says Germany’s defense minister.
America has a potential new ally in the Indo-Pacific. In an elaborate ceremony at Camp Humphreys, the huge American base south of Seoul, the German defense minister, Boris Pistorius, implanted the German flag among those of the 17 other nations in the United Nations Command in Korea.
