[Asia Economy Reporter Kwangho Lee] The government has launched the '6·25 War 70th Anniversary Project Promotion Committee.'

The 6·25 War 70th Anniversary Project Promotion Committee held the appointment ceremony for civilian members and its first meeting on the 31st at the War Memorial of Korea, chaired by Prime Minister Chung Sye-kyun, officially beginning its activities.

Before the meeting, Prime Minister Chung and the committee members paid tribute at the War Memorial's monument to the fallen, honoring the 175,801 Republic of Korea and UN veterans who sacrificed their noble lives during the 6·25 War.

The committee is composed of a total of 31 members, with Prime Minister Chung and former Air Force Chief of Staff Kim Eun-gi serving as co-chairmen, including 15 government members (such as the Prime Minister) and 16 civilian members (including the civilian chairman).

Going forward, the committee will play a role in deliberating and deciding on major policies such as project promotion directions and comprehensive plans in accordance with the regulations for the 6·25 War 70th Anniversary Project Promotion Committee established last year.

At the first meeting, the committee deliberated and approved key agenda items including the operation plan, operational rules, and comprehensive project plan.

For efficient project management, the committee is organized and operated into three subcommittees: Memory, Together, and Peace. Through various public participation projects themed on Memory, Together, and Peace, it aims to normalize the spirit of remembrance and gratitude toward veterans, and play a pivotal role in fostering national unity and creating an atmosphere of peace.

In the future, to deeply gather the opinions of the members, the committee plans to finalize the project contents after discussions in the subcommittees and the second committee meeting next month, and then fully promote the 70th anniversary projects.

At the meeting, Civilian Chairman Kim said, "With the launch of the committee, a government-wide foundation for promoting the 6·25 War 70th anniversary projects has been established," adding, "Through the committee, we will strive to realize a space of remembrance, harmony, and peace shared by veterans, the public, and the international community including UN participating countries."
