[Asia Economy Yang Nak-gyu, Military Specialist Reporter] On the 22nd, the Ministry of National Defense will report to President Yoon Seok-yeol. The core of the report is the implementation plan for key tasks such as expanding the "Korean-style 3-axis system" and strengthening the ROK-US joint exercises.

According to the Ministry of National Defense on the 21st, the report will be delivered in a solo briefing format by Minister Lee at the President's office, with key officials such as the Chief of Staff, National Security Office Director, 1st and 2nd Deputy Directors of the National Security Office, and spokesperson attending from the Presidential Office.

Minister Lee will focus on reporting the implementation plan for key tasks including the expansion plan of the Korean-style 3-axis system, the defense artificial intelligence (AI) promotion strategy and priority tasks, and the strengthening of ROK-US joint exercises, based on the defense policy direction reported at the "All Armed Forces Senior Commanders Meeting" chaired by President Yoon on the 6th of this month.

The Korean-style 3-axis system is a concept to respond to North Korea's increasingly advanced nuclear and missile threats, consisting of the "Kill Chain" that detects, tracks, and strikes North Korean missiles, the Korean Air and Missile Defense (KAMD) that intercepts North Korea's ballistic missiles and submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBM), and the Korean Massive Punishment and Retaliation (KMPR) that annihilates enemy command facilities.

After the report, Minister Lee is scheduled to explain the results of the briefing to the public at the Presidential Office briefing room.
