Acting President Han Deok-soo congratulated Commander Javier Brunson on assuming his new position as commander of the U.S. Forces Korea on the 20th and called on him to work hard to strengthen the U.S.-ROK alliance.
He continued, "The South Korean government is managing the situation steadily while cooperating closely with friendly countries including the United States in the midst of a difficult situation," and "We are concerned that North Korea may have misjudged our situation and launched a ballistic missile."
"There is a possibility that North Korea will launch a variety of provocations, including these, so it is imperative that we maintain a flawless security posture, including by establishing a joint U.S.-ROK defense posture," he said.
In response, Commander Javier Brunson said, "I will faithfully fulfill the role given to me as commander of the US Forces Korea.
"Through practical joint and combined exercises, we will ensure that we are prepared to respond to any threat," he said.
