Chung Dae-yong, the head of the National Security Agency, said that this year's defense training will include both the Navy and the Naval Air Force.

[Jeong-Yong Chung / Director of National Security Agency, Cheong Wa Dae] (The 6th National Assembly Operation Committee): The Dokdo Guardian Training will not only participate in the seascape, but the Navy and Air Force will all participate.]

The Pentagon set a training date for the Blue House between 12 and 14 days just before Independence Day, and it appears that the Blue House current has recently changed.

A Blue House official said, "There will be no Dokdo training before Liberation Day."

"I will not hurry even after the Liberation Day," he added.

This decision seems to be the time to manage the situation on a regular basis, leaving the training period 'ambiguously'.

In Japan, the response is bigger than expected, and US Defense Secretary Mark Esper continues to emphasize US-Japan cooperation.

The Korean government has also suspended its response yesterday to remove Japan from the list of preferred countries for export.

When asked whether to seek conditions for dialogue while deteriorating the situation, Cheong Wa Dae said that while watching Japan's movement to change airflow, the government's position on fundamentally withdrawal of economic retaliation should remain unchanged.
