[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Kim Jong-in, Emergency Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, stated on the 25th regarding the shooting incident of the missing public official from Yeonpyeong Island by North Korea, “President Moon Jae-in should directly demand an apology from North Korean State Affairs Commission Chairman Kim Jong-un,” and added, “The September 19 military agreement should be officially terminated.”

Chairman Kim said immediately after a closed emergency meeting between the Emergency Committee and the Foreign Affairs and Security Special Committee held at the National Assembly that day, “This incident constitutes a military provocation against the Republic of Korea and a serious violation of international law,” and “The government repeatedly claims it is not a breach of the agreement. What angers me more is the fact that our military just watched while our people were dying. Why has our military and national security come to this state?”

Chairman Kim emphasized, “All means must be mobilized to hold North Korea accountable, and the submissive policy toward the North must be reconsidered from the beginning,” and “I strongly urge that North Korea’s inhumane acts be held responsible by filing a case with the International Criminal Court and referring the matter to the UN Security Council.”

Chairman Kim stated, “This situation is a national disaster caused by the Moon Jae-in administration’s comprehensive security failure. The fundamental responsibility lies with the President and the Blue House,” and “There is great doubt whether (President Moon) fulfilled his constitutional duties. Before punishing those responsible, uncovering the substantial truth must come first.”

Chairman Kim said, “The cause of this incident, including President Moon’s 47 hours, must be revealed,” and “We will concentrate all party efforts on restoring the abnormal national security situation to normal.”
