BANGKOK -- In mid-September, Admiral Dong Jun, China's defense minister, opened the 11th Beijing Xiangshan Forum, an increasingly important Asia-Pacific security gathering. It was attended by over 1,800 delegates, including 22 deputy prime ministers.
The latter included Myanmar's Gen. Tin Aung San, who also serves as minister of defense. He was received by Gen. He Weidong, vice chairman of the Central Military Commission. The two sides discussed increased cooperation in military technology and the "dispatch of trainees," according to local media reports.
