[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] The National Defense Committee of the National Assembly unanimously adopted the personnel hearing report on Defense Minister nominee Lee Jong-seop on the 9th.
Through the report, the Defense Committee evaluated, "Nominee Lee has acquired extensive experience, expertise, and strategic leadership in defense policy and military operations through key positions during his 39 years of military service."
However, the report also included criticism that he failed to provide a clear stance regarding the relocation of the presidential office to Yongsan and the consequent move of the Ministry of National Defense.
