SEOUL, Nov. 1 (Yonhap) — President Moon Jae-in’s top security adviser said Friday North Korea’s current missile capabilities cannot be seen as a grave threat to South Korea’s national security.
Chung Eui-yong, chief of Cheong Wa Dae’s National Security Office, told parliament that South Korea is “absolutely” superior to North Korea in terms of missile defense and interceptor abilities, dismissing growing public concern about missile threats from North Korea.
“I don’t see missile capabilities now being developed by North Korea as a grave threat to our national security,” Chung said during the National Assembly Steering Committee’s audit into Cheong Wa Dae, the presidential office.
