Dear Whom it may concern,

My name is Benjamin Charlton, I am the Secretary for Defence Acquisitions for the Canadian Armed Forces. It has come to my attention that the Canadian Armed Forces specifically the Royal Canadian Navy is lacking in some key areas which doesn't sit well with our vision for the department. It has been requested of me to find suitable replacements for these areas where the Canadian Defence Industries lack and with that the Royal Canadian Navy is looking at procuring Four [4] Dokdo class Amphibious Assault Ships.

Would the Korean Ministry of Defense be willing to sell the Royal Canadian Navy four [4] units of said product? If so please may I request a quote for such and I look forward to working with you in the near future and hope to hear from you soon!

Regards,
Benjamin Charlton
Secretary for Defence Acquisitions

Deputy Minister Dudek,

Dear Benjamin Charlton,

Thank you for reaching out to us regarding the potential procurement of four Dokdo class Amphibious Assault Ships for the Royal Canadian Navy. We appreciate your interest in our products and are open to discussing a potential sale.

As for the specific request for a quote, we would be more than happy to discuss pricing information. However, we would also like to explore the option of including the CC-150 Polaris in the purchase agreement.

Please let us know if you would like to further discuss this option or if you have any specific requirements or questions. We look forward to the opportunity to work with you in the near future.


Kindest Regards,
Yoon Kwang-ung

Dear Whom it may concern,

Thank you for getting back to us, we would need the number of units you would require to provide an accurate quote for yourselves for the desired aircraft. We are also looking at obtaining either a Frigate and/or Destroyer depending on pricing to go along with the Dokdo and to help build on our Naval Forces. Is there anything you could offer along the Dokdo?

Regards,
Benjamin Charlton
Secretary for Defence Acquisitions
