[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Hyun-ji] The People Power Party condemned North Korea's missile provocations on the 8th and emphasized the Yoon Suk-yeol administration's resolute response to security threats.


Heo Eun-ah, the chief spokesperson of the People Power Party, stated in a commentary on the day, "Although the new government is only two days away from its inauguration, North Korea's missile provocations continue," adding, "This could be a warning signal aimed at gaining strategic advantage in inter-Korean relations ahead of the inauguration ceremony and the South Korea-U.S. summit." She continued, "The ballistic missile launches occurring at three-day intervals are clear violations of the UN Security Council resolutions," and criticized the Blue House by saying, "After North Korea's missile launches, the National Security Council (NSC) was convened to point out and condemn the violations of the UN Security Council resolutions, but the Blue House at the end of its term still could not call these 'provocations' 'provocations,' which is truly hollow."



She further stated, "We strongly condemn North Korea's missile launches, which threaten the safety of our people and the security of the Korean Peninsula, as serious acts of provocation," emphasizing, "The Yoon Suk-yeol administration will establish fundamental countermeasures against North Korea's provocations and develop practical deterrence capabilities against nuclear missile threats. Based on a firm security foundation, it will strive for denuclearization and peace on the Korean Peninsula through principled inter-Korean relations and will respond resolutely to security threats directed at us."
