| [Kyodo: Korea] The Myanmar military government's third-ranked leader made a top-secret visit to North Korea in November last year during which the two sides pledged to significantly expand cooperation in military training and arms production, Radio Free Asia online reported Friday, quoting a leaked report purportedly drafted by the junta. The 37-page report in Burmese claims to contain details of the Nov. 22-29 visit to North Korea by 17 Myanmar officials, billed as a goodwill visit to China and reportedly led by Gen. Thura Shwe Mann, Myanmar's third-ranked leader and armed forces chief of staff, the Radio Free Asia report said. |
