[Asia Economy Yang Nak-gyu Reporter] On the 17th, Jeon Dong-jin, Chief of Operations at the Joint Chiefs of Staff, held an emergency briefing at the Ministry of National Defense building in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, stating, "Our military expresses deep concern over the announcement by the North Korean General Staff today that they intend to ratify various military action plans that directly contradict past inter-Korean agreements, including the 2018 'Panmunjom Declaration' and the 'September 19 Military Agreement.'"



He continued, "This measure is an action that will instantly nullify the efforts and achievements that both Koreas have jointly made over the past 20 years to develop inter-Korean relations and maintain peace on the Korean Peninsula. Should it be put into actual practice, the North will inevitably pay the price for it," he warned.
