The proposed action items include: ▲Three major U.S.-focused strategies to "strategize K-Defense" in the Korea-U.S. defense cost-sharing negotiations ▲Establishment of a defense AI ecosystem linked to the capabilities of the world's top three AI powers ▲Advancement of defense export infrastructure ▲Strengthening of the defense export finance system ▲Establishment of an integrated administrative system for recruiting overseas professionals ▲Policy improvement for securing and managing foreign skilled workers in the field ▲One-stop support for global local activities of K-Defense experts.


The seminar also assessed the current status of K-Defense. While K-Defense has reached a turning point by achieving net exporter status, it was evaluated that there is still a gap to close with advanced European defense industry nations such as Germany, the United Kingdom, and Italy. The seminar also analyzed policy trends among the world's top seven defense exporters: the United States, China, France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, and T?rkiye.



In his keynote presentation, Professor Kim Jaegoo of Myongji University stated, "To elevate the global standing of K-Defense, a major overhaul of the system and an industrial structure transformation are necessary," and emphasized, "The seven key action items must be implemented swiftly to transform the defense industry into an ecosystem based on technological innovation."
