[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Hee-jun] The Joint Chiefs of Staff held a policy advisory committee meeting for the first time in three years to discuss measures to respond to North Korea's nuclear and missile threats.

The JCS announced on the 15th that it held the second half of this year's policy advisory committee meeting chaired by Chairman Kim Seung-gyeom.

The meeting was attended by policy advisory committee members composed of experts in various fields including strategy and force, nuclear and weapons of mass destruction (WMD), military space, operations, intelligence, and military support.

The JCS policy advisory committee plenary meeting is generally held semiannually, but it was suspended due to the spread of COVID-19 after the first half meeting in January 2020 and resumed after about three years.

The attendees discussed the strategic environment of the Korean Peninsula including North Korea's nuclear and missile threats, the revolutionary strengthening of the Korea-type 3-axis system, enhancement of combined and joint exercises and training, and expansion of advanced military capabilities through the promotion of Defense Innovation 4.0. In addition, discussions were held on major military issues such as the systematic and stable transition of wartime operational control.

Chairman Kim Seung-gyeom of the JCS emphasized, "Our military maintains a strong combined defense posture and is equipped with the capability and military readiness to respond firmly to any provocation from North Korea."
