U.S.-South Korea: Washington and Seoul Collaborate on Biological Defense The United States and South Korea have established a joint panel to address the threat of biological and chemical weapons attacks, Yonhap News Agency reported today (see GSN, July 17). The agreement on the effort was signed by South Korean Health and Welfare Minister Kim Hwa-joong and U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson (Yonhap News Agency/Asia Pulse, July 23). Other joint public health initiatives will also be covered by the agreement, according to the HHS. “As we jointly tackle enhanced infectious disease research, we’ll be doing more than just strengthening our own ties — we’ll be creating a healthier global community,” Thompson said (Health and Human Services release, July 22).
