While North Korea has repeatedly launched short-range ballistic missiles and flying bodies since last month, the government held a ministerial meeting of the NSC = National Security Council to discuss the situation in North Korea and proceed with analysis of information. It seems that we have confirmed that we will continue to be thorough in vigilance monitoring.

The government held a ministerial meeting of the NSC = National Security Council at the Prime Minister's official residence on the afternoon of the 6th.

North Korea has launched four short-range ballistic missiles on the 25th of the month, followed by four launches in about two weeks, including a flying object on the 6th.

The NSC on the 6th seems to have confirmed that the trend of North Korea is being analyzed and that it will continue to be thorough in vigilance.

Regarding the government's response to North Korea, the second-level secretary-general of the Liberal Democratic Party was complaining at the party's meeting that "NSC = National Security Council has not been held and is not enough."
