President Yoon mentioned North Korea’s recent declaration that it would ‘destroy the Republic of Korea’ by defining North and South Korea as ‘belligerents’ rather than compatriots, and said, “This act itself is anti-national, anti-unification, a provocation and a threat that goes against history.”

President Yoon said, “The North Korean regime is the only irrational group in the world that has legislated the preemptive use of nuclear weapons,” and added, “The North Korean regime is going to any lengths to maintain its hereditary totalitarian regime.” He continued, “Recently, they have been trading arms with Russia and blatantly ignoring international law and UN Security Council resolutions.”

President Yoon said, “We must further strengthen our preparedness so that our good citizens can focus on economic and social activities with peace of mind.” He added, “Basically, the military is responsible for defense, but when a security crisis occurs, it is a country in which the civilian, military, and police cooperate. “We need to strengthen our all-out preparedness system,” he said.

This year’s integrated defense meeting changed its format to examine actual combat responses by assuming scenarios of North Korean provocations. In thematic discussions related to responding to North Korea’s long-range artillery and cyber and electromagnetic attacks, major situations that may be faced were assumed, and measures and complementary measures were presented and discussed by each agency.

About 170 people attended the meeting, including key officials from the central government, local governments, the National Intelligence Service, each military, the National Police Agency, the Korea Coast Guard, and the National Fire Agency, as well as private sector experts. 11 people from the public observation group also participated with the purpose of announcing the start of ‘integrated defense with the people’. The public observer group included citizens who contributed to the success of the operation by promptly reporting residents in the arrest of illegal immigrants at Daecheon Port in October last year and the defection of wooden boats in the East Sea.
