A presidential office official clarified regarding the mention of Korea-China shuttle diplomacy, stating, "It does not mean shuttle diplomacy like that between the Korean and Japanese leaders," and added, "The intention is to slightly expand exchanges at various levels, including ministerial and working-level officials between Korea and China." The official also said, "Since this is a diplomatic matter, it does not seem appropriate to discuss details," and noted, "The conversations between Prime Minister Han and President Xi have been announced and reported through various other channels such as the first vice foreign minister, so it should be understood as a continuation of that."

Regarding the 75th Armed Forces Day event scheduled for the 26th, the official said, "This event will be held on a large scale for the first time in 10 years, and both military personnel and citizens will participate in the parade," and conveyed, "As President Yoon has emphasized that 'a strong military guarantees true peace,' he plans to showcase the strong might of the armed forces both domestically and internationally."
