(S//SI) On Tuesday, SIGINT Deputy Director Charlie Meals spoke at the Global Military-toMilitary Foreign Affairs Conference taking place here at Fort Meade. He focused on the topic of
Third Parties, a subject he also highlighted in a recent SID today article . Mr. Meals emphasized
the importance of seizing opportunities in the form of cooperative ventures with Third Parties,
and discussed NSA's "Strategic Directions" foreign affairs initiative, which will give the Agency a
structured process for dealing with these issues.
(S//SI) Mr. Meals further remarked on the importance of military-to-military intelligence
relationships, saying that they add a key dimension to our international relations: trust. This is
especially true when the U.S. and Third Parties are working as coalition partners, he added.
