Lee Takes K-Defense to NATO's Front Door

First NATO summit and he is not there to browse: Partnership 2.0, co-production, a permanent seat at Europe's defense table.

Lee envisions a "Korea-NATO 2.0" relationship, ranging from arms sales to building together.

he is done being just an arms vendor. 'partnership 2.0' is code for we build together, you owe us a seat at the table. selling submarines is nice — being indispensable to europe is the actual prize.
