Mayor Park Hyung-jun (Chairperson of the Busan City Integrated Defense Council) emphasized the importance of establishing a regional integrated defense posture, stating, “Given the severe domestic and international situation, there must be no gaps or negligence in regional security,” and urged, “I hope each institution will prepare thoroughly and without fail to ensure a substantive Eulji Exercise.”

A Busan City official said, “The Eulji Exercise is conducted once a year to protect the lives and property of citizens in case of emergencies,” and added, “We ask the citizens to fully understand the importance of this training and actively cooperate with the exercise.”
