given the recent tensions on the Korean Peninsula
Speaker of the Republic of Korea’s National Assembly Woo Won-shik visited the Comprehensive Situation Room and Cybersecurity Center of the National Assembly on August 19 to inspect its emergency preparedness posture and commend staff for their efforts during the Ulchi civil defense exercise. The 2024 National Assembly Ulchi Exercise runs for four days from August 19 to 22.
Speaker Woo received reports on the initial briefing and schedule for the Ulchi Exercise at the Comprehensive Situation Room. “Given the recent intensification of the U.S.-China power contest and the heightened tensions between North and South Korea due to the North’s provocations with balloon-borne waste, it is essential to remain vigilant,” he noted, urging a thorough review of the effectiveness of the National Assembly’s emergency preparedness plan and the development of enhancement measures through practical training.
Speaker Woo then headed to the Cybersecurity Center, where he expressed his appreciation to staff for their hard work, saying: “The National Assembly generates vast amounts of data and interacts with the public throughout its operations. I urge you to protect the information and enhance the public trust by safeguarding cybersecurity at the front lines.”
