A South Korean parliamentary committee approved a bill Wednesday to extend the nation's troop deployment in the United Arab Emirates and Somalia for another year to the end of 2016.
The National Assembly's defense committee passed the bill to extend the deployment of the military contingents in the two countries from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31.
The bill needs to be passed by the National Assembly's plenary session slated for Thursday.
About 150 South Korean soldiers have been stationed in the eastern region of the UAE, tasked with training the Middle Eastern nation's special operations forces.
South Korea has also deployed a naval unit aboard a 4,500-ton destroyer in the Gulf of Aden since 2009 as part of global efforts to combat piracy off the coast of Somalia.
