S. Korea, U.S. to hold another round of defense cost sharing talks in Seoul

South Korea and the U.S. will begin a fresh round of defense cost sharing talks in Seoul in the coming hours.
Washington's Senior Advisor for Security Negotiations and Agreements Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, James DeHart arrived in the South Korean capital on Sunday,... just nine days after his last visit.
He will hold his third round of talks with his South Korean counterpart, Jeong Eun-bo on Monday and Tuesday.
Their previous negotiation took place last month in Hawaii.
Speaking to reporters upon his arrival, DeHart said much work is needed in order to achieve a fair and equal deal between the two sides... as the U.S. pushes South Korea to pay much more.
However, DeHart stressed that he's confident the two sides can come to a good agreement with some hard work,... adding that he hopes his frequent visits show how important the U.S. sees its alliance with South Korea.
