I would like to first ask whether there is any investigation into circumstances such as arms trade or technical cooperation in relation to North Korea’s dispatch to Iran for foreign economic purposes.

This is not an issue for the military to talk about, but I understand that other related government agencies have probably briefly expressed their position, so please refer to that. We are also in the same position.

I would like to ask you one more question. Today is the founding day of the People’s Revolutionary Army, so I would like to ask further whether there is any movement to launch a satellite.

I think the Joint Chiefs of Staff will have to respond to that.

(Lee Seong-jun, Director of Public Affairs of the Joint Chiefs of Staff) This is the Director of Public Affairs of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. There are no significant indications regarding the date of establishment of the Red Army, and although there are movements to launch additional military reconnaissance satellites, there are no signs of imminent launch.

I have a question for the DAPA. These days, it looks like our defense industry exports will pick up steam again. What do you think is the reason why our defense industry exports are doing so well?

(Official) Our defense industry has excellent technology, prices, and production capacity, combined with active support from the entire government, leading to good results.

Thank you.

(Moderator) We will conclude today’s briefing.
