Seong said, \u201cIt is a burden on my shoulders to be entrusted with such an important responsibility in the severe security situation surrounding the Korean Peninsula.\u201d He added, \u201cBy building a strong security posture based on the solid ROK-US alliance, we will successfully complete the Yoon Seok-yeol administration\u2019s Defense Innovation 4.0. \u201cWe will do our best to support defense exports,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He continued by emphasizing, \u201cAs there are no ruling or opposition parties in defense, we will strive to ensure that cooperation between the ruling and opposition parties is achieved solely for national security in the face of successive provocations by North Korea.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Rep. Seong Il-jong, who was elected to the third term in the general election last April, is the party&#8217;s policy and security official who served as the chairman of the People Power Policy Committee, secretary of the National Defense Committee of the National Assembly, and chairman of the National Security Committee of the People Power Party in the 21st National Assembly. After serving as Secretary General of the People Power Party, he took on the position of Chairman of the National Defense Committee of the National Assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Rep. Seong will concurrently hold the position of Secretary-General of the People Power Party and the position of Chairman of the National Defense Committee of the National Assembly, which he currently holds. The position of Secretary-General of the People Power Party will be newly appointed by the new party leader who will be elected at the People Power Party convention to be held on July 23. As it is expected that Rep. Seong will hold the position of Secretary General of the People Power Party and Chairman of the National Defense Committee of the National Assembly only until the end of the People Power Party National Convention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ipnews.kr\/news\/articleList.html?sc_area=I&amp;sc_word=nkw778&amp;view_type=sm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ipnews.kr\/news\/articleList.html?sc_area=I&amp;sc_word=nkw778&amp;view_type=sm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reporter Nam Gi-woong, Mobile Reporting Department<\/a><a href=\"mailto:nkw778@hanmail.net\"> nkw778@hanmail.net<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 IPN News.
