Defense Minister Sukampol Suwannathat reaffirmed the U.S.-Thai military
alliance. “Today
the minister and I moved this alliance into the 21st Century by signing a joint
vision statement that will help pave the way for even stronger military to
military ties as we adapt to the shared threats and challenges that we will
face together in this region and in the future
,” Panetta said. “As
we focus on these areas of cooperation, I want to convey that the United States
remains committed to helping the Thai military further develop its already

humanitarian relief and in peacekeeping operations
