[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hye-min] Kim Jong-in, Emergency Committee Chairman of the United Future Party, demanded a 'replacement of the diplomatic and security line' amid the escalating security crisis.

On the 19th, before a meeting with first-term lawmakers, Chairman Kim told reporters, "Considering the new inter-Korean relations and relations with the United States, those who have led diplomacy and security so far must be replaced," adding, "I strongly urge the government side to come up with policies that fit the new perspective and new circumstances."

He criticized, "The destruction of the Kaesong Industrial Complex and the inter-Korean liaison office has made the security situation on the Korean Peninsula very acute," and said, "The government's announcement clearly criticized North Korea in a very strong tone, but there is little talk about how to respond going forward."

Chairman Kim also added, "I am skeptical whether the Blue House security team, the Ministry of Unification, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which have been promoting inter-Korean relations so far, can smoothly resolve inter-Korean issues with the current attitude."
