Yoon Administration's Diplomatic and Security Vision 'National Security Strategy' to be Released as Early as March

'Bold Vision' and 'Indo-Pacific Strategy' Likely to Be Included as Policy Tasks
North Korea Approach Expected to Differ from Previous Moon Administration

[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] The 'National Security Strategy,' which contains the diplomatic and security policy plans that the government will pursue during President Yoon Seok-yeol's term, is expected to be released as early as next month.

According to the Presidential Office on the 22nd, the final preparations for the publication of the 'National Security Strategy' are underway, centered around the National Security Office.

The National Security Strategy is expected to include response measures to changes in the security situation such as the intensifying strategic competition between the U.S. and China, the Ukraine war, and the escalating North Korean nuclear and missile threats, as well as guidelines for realizing the vision of a "global pivotal state contributing to freedom, peace, and prosperity."

In particular, it is anticipated to include specific policy tasks related to diplomatic strategies, such as the Yoon Seok-yeol administration's roadmap for denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula called the "Bold Initiative," and South Korea's first-ever "Indo-Pacific Strategy."

This time, a comprehensive shift in the approach to North Korea compared to the previous Moon Jae-in administration's national security strategy guidelines is expected.

Since the Roh Moo-hyun administration, successive governments have published and announced the National Security Strategy early in their terms. This time as well, the public version will be disclosed through ministries, various agencies, and the Presidential Office website.
