[Asia Economy Reporter Baek Kyunghwan] The Presidential Transition Committee's (Transition Committee) Foreign Affairs and Security Subcommittee exchanged opinions with the Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) on measures to strengthen military capabilities to respond to North Korea's nuclear and missile threats and to establish the three-axis system.

On the morning of the 23rd, the Transition Committee's Foreign Affairs and Security Subcommittee members, including Secretary Kim Seong-han, defense sector experts and working-level committee members, and planning and coordination subcommittee experts received a briefing attended by Seo Hyung-jin, Deputy Administrator of DAPA, the heads of the Basic Power and Future Power Project Headquarters, and various bureau chiefs.

On this day, DAPA also presented evaluations of major defense acquisition policies linked to President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol's pledges and national tasks to be pursued by the new government. This included the status of major defense capability improvement projects for this year.

In particular, it is reported that in-depth discussions were held on defense capability improvement projects to respond to North Korea's nuclear and missile threats and measures to strengthen military power for establishing the three-axis system. The three-axis system is a plan to enhance military power by equipping Korea with the Korean Air and Missile Defense system (KAMD), Kill Chain, and Korean Massive Punishment and Retaliation (KMPR) capabilities to counter North Korea's nuclear and missile threats.

Earlier, during his candidacy, President-elect Yoon emphasized the early restoration and strengthening of the three-axis system, pledging to dramatically enhance North Korea's nuclear and missile response capabilities.
