Defense Minister Chung Kyung-doo, who attended the National Assembly today, said he is "carefully examining the issue of destroying the Korea-Japan military information security treaty." The ruling and opposition parties have agreed on the resolution condemning North Korea's missile provocation, but apologize for the remarks by opposition lawmakers saying that Chung's representative is North Korea.

It is reported by reporter Jung Yoon-sik.

Defense Minister Chung Kyung-doo was initially positive about prolonging the Korea-Japan military information security agreement, but has now said he is deliberating on the breach of the agreement.

[Jung Kyung-doo / Secretary of Defense: The relationship between such friendly allies related to security is carefully reviewed because these are complex.]

He also said he would consider an unexpected proposal to deploy Marines instead of police in Dokdo.

[Chung Kyung-doo / Minister of National Defense: I will do so in a way that I can review that part of the national level.]

It does not mention the specific plan, but it is interpreted as an answer to the hard-line-level review of Japan.

Chung has said he has not considered any tactical nuclear relocation claims from opposition parties.

The Korean parliamentarians who proposed the dismissal of the minister were sharply confronted with Chung, but the meeting was temporarily suspended because of this statement.

[Park, Myeong-woo / Free Korean MP: I am defending and defending North Korea and I am sure that the minister responsible for the security of the Republic of Korea is right.]

[Jung Kyoung Doo / Secretary of Defense: Please cancel the statement that I am representing North Korea. When did I change North Korea?

Despite these conflicts, the resolution condemning the North Korean missile provocations and calling for a recurrence has been settled.
