[속보]Approval of a personal audience report by President Won-cheol Won-Kyunghyang Shinmun

The National Assembly Staff Hearing Report was adopted for candidate Lee Won-cheol, the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (59, construction period 32).

On the 18th, National Assembly Defense Commissioner Min Hong-cheol said, “Candidate Won has the experience to lead the joint war and the qualities for wartime transition,” he said. “I declare that the progress report of the personal hearing has been approved.”

Shortly before the adoption of the staff hearing progress report, Congressman Ha Tae-gyeong protested that candidate Won had not adequately explained that he was playing golf during the North Korean missile provocation. Consequently, the National Defense Commission decided to reflect in the report that “there is no problem in accordance with the regulations, but I will pay attention to the activities that may be problematic.”

In a personal audience at the National Assembly that day, candidate Won said “the possibility is not high” on the possibility of North Korea launching a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) on the anniversary of the founding of the Party Labor on the 10th of next month. Regarding North Korea’s development of a 3000t-class submarine, he said: “We are making an estimate, but the substance is not confirmed.”

Candidate Won replied, “I don’t think there is,” when asked whether the United States could attack North Korea without South Korea’s consent. He also answered “yes” to the ruling party legislator’s question that Operational Plan 5027 does not include a nuclear attack.

Candidate Won said: “We will respond by developing a customized Korean Peninsula expanded nuclear strategy and a WMD (weapons of mass destruction) nuclear system.” “We don’t have plutonium or uranium (to develop nuclear weapons),” he said.

Regarding questions from opposition lawmakers asking whether North Korea has nuclear weapons, he said: “Our government or the military does not recognize North Korea as a nuclear power,” he said. .

Candidate Won responded to the September 19 military agreement between the two Koreas, saying, “I think North Korea has also made an effort to comply with the agreement.” “(However) there has been no progress on further implementation matters. It didn’t match. “

As for the voice of concern that Defense Minister Seo-wook is a year younger than him, “mission comes first. I will do my best to serve as the minister’s military commander. “
