WASHINGTON, Feb 9 (Reuters) The top US military officer is due to discuss North Korea's latest satellite launch with his Japanese and South Korean counterparts this week, as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen military ties among the three countries, US defense officials said.
US Marine Corps General Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, will be in Hawaii, home to US Pacific Command, for the meeting, which was scheduled before the North Korea launch, which has been widely criticized around the world.
