This is an Associated Press photograph showing Tim (Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary and Senior Advisor for Security Negotiations and Agreements) and South Korean Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha before meeting on Sunday to sign an agreement increasing Seoul’s contribution for the cost of the American military presence on its soil.
