[Asia Economy reporters Lee Ji-eun and Lim Chun-han] Kim Jong-in, Emergency Committee Chairman of the United Future Party, stated on the 22nd, "Peace is maintained when there is strength; it cannot be maintained by words alone."

At the Emergency Committee meeting that day, Chairman Kim said, "The reality is that the division still continues, and North Korea constantly threatens the South, causing us distress."

Chairman Kim added, "The public may be concerned about the recent inter-Korean relations, but if we unite with consolidated strength and respond appropriately, we will sustain the current prosperity."

The United Future Party designated this week, marking the 70th anniversary of the June 25th War and the 18th anniversary of the Second Battle of Yeonpyeong, as Security Commemoration Week. The background phrase in the meeting room was also changed to "Protecting the country we saved with our lives, we will guard it firmly."

Before the meeting, Chairman Kim pinned the 'National Defense Hero Badge,' produced in Chilgok-gun, Gyeongbuk Province, on two male and female veterans who participated in the June 25th War. All United Future Party lawmakers decided to wear this badge throughout the week.
