Topeka (WIBW) - The state's Adjutant General talked Friday morning
about his recent trip to Armenia.
Major General Tod Bunting visited the former Soviet Republic to discuss
how Kansas can enhance its six-year partnership with the country,
which shares a border with Iran.
He and Armenian officials discussed bio security, agricultural
development opportunities and education and law enforcement
initiatives.
While Bunting says it's always reassuring to have allies halfway around
the world, the trip also proves educational in other respects. He
says it teaches a person to appreciate other cultures and other ways
of doing things.
The trip was part of the State Partnership Program established by
the National Guard Bureau that links a state to a country to enhance
cooperation and interaction.
