[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] On the afternoon of the 10th, the government held a Standing Committee meeting of the National Security Council (NSC) chaired by Suh Hoon, Director of the National Security Office.

The attendees first closely reviewed the situation in Ukraine and trends among major countries, as well as securing the safety of our citizens, humanitarian aid to Ukraine, international sanctions against Russia, energy, supply chains, financial markets, and trends of our companies. They decided to take additional necessary measures while cooperating with the international community.

In addition, to fully respond to the spread of the Omicron variant, they agreed to strengthen quarantine management and support at the level of diplomatic and security ministries, including additional support from military administrative personnel to local governments.

Furthermore, regarding North Korea's recent missile launches, South Korea and the United States will jointly conduct more precise analyses and continue to consider necessary measures. They will also closely communicate and cooperate with the international community and related countries until the next government takes office, respond promptly to urgent diplomatic and security issues, and actively cooperate so that the next government can swiftly address related matters.
