General Martin Dempsey to visit South Korea next week
General Martin Dempsey
Seoul - QNA
The top US military officer will visit South Korea next week for talks with his counterpart on boosting the bilateral alliance, Seoul officials said Friday.
Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS), is scheduled to arrive Thursday for a three-day stay, during which he plans to hold talks with South Korea's JCS chairman, Adm. Choi Yun-hee, and meet with Defense Minister Han Min-koo, according to Seoul's JCS.
In November, the allies agreed to delay the transition of wartime operational control of South Korean troops from Washington to Seoul until South Korea is capable enough to counter the threats, with the two sides eyeing the mid-2020s as the time frame for the transfer.
Dempsey's visit comes amid speculation that the top military officers of the allies could discuss the possible deployment of a Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery on South Korean soil, Yonhap news agency reported.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home.

Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
