President Moon Jae-in said, "I promise to the people that I will firmly respond to any actions that threaten the lives and safety of the people."
President Moon attended the 72nd Armed Forces Day celebration held at the Army Special Wars Command on the morning of the 25th and said in a commemorative address, "We must have a strong security posture that no one can surpass with our own strength to create, protect, and protect peace. I can grow it."
In the memorial address, President Moon did not directly mention the North Korean shooting and killing of the Korean people on the 22nd.
However, it is interpreted as indirectly expressing the government's will by saying, "I will firmly respond to actions that threaten the lives and safety of the people."
President Moon also mentioned the defense medium-term plan to invest 301 trillion won over five years until 2025, emphasizing the reinforcement of future ROK military science and technology capabilities.
In particular, he said, "Missiles flying farther than 800km-class ballistic missiles and 1000km-class cruise missiles will protect our land."
Today's Armed Forces Day commemoration ceremony was held six days earlier because October 1 was Chuseok.
