(URGENT) Seoul will not get involved in war, make contribution in Hormuz if necessary: Wi

National Security Adviser Wi Sung-lac addressed the recent mine blast incident in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) during a parliamentary session in Seoul on Friday. The blast, which occurred in September and wounded three South Korean soldiers, two of them seriously, prompted Wi to reaffirm the government's commitment to taking necessary measures based on clear principles.

Wi emphasized the government's focus on establishing peace that eliminates the need for fighting, stating, "Our government will continue taking necessary measures in response to the DMZ mine blast incident based on clear principles." He further explained, "The government will focus its resources on creating peace that makes fighting unnecessary by consistently pursuing its policy of peaceful coexistence."
