South Korea Section 3
DEFENSE WHITE PAPER Message from the Minister of National Defense The year 2010 marked the 60th anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean War. Since the end of the war, the Republic of Korea has made such great strides and its economy now ranks among the 10-plus largest economies in the world. Out of the ashes of the war, it has risen from an aid recipient to a donor nation. Korea’s economic miracle rests on the strength and commitment of the ROK military. However, the threat of war and persistent security concerns remain undiminished on the Korean Peninsula. North Korea is threatening peace with its recent surprise attack against the ROK Ship CheonanDQGLWV¿ULQJRIDUWLOOHU\DW<HRQS\HRQJ Island. The series of illegitimate armed provocations by the North have left a fragile peace on the Korean Peninsula. Transnational and non-military threats coupled with potential conflicts among Northeast Asian countries add another element that further jeopardizes the Korean Peninsula’s security. To handle security threats, the ROK military has instituted its Defense Vision to foster an ‘Advanced Elite Military,’ which will realize the said Vision. As part of the efforts, the ROK military complemented the Defense Reform Basic Plan and has UHYDPSHGLWVZHDSRQSURFXUHPHQWDQGDFTXLVLWLRQV\VWHP,QDGGLWLRQLWKDVUHYDPSHGWKHHGXFDWLRQDOV\VWHPIRURI¿FHUVZKLOH strengthening the current training system by extending the basic training period and by taking other measures. The military has also endeavored to invigorate the defense industry as an exporter so the defense economy may develop as a new growth engine for the entire Korean economy. To reduce any possible inconveniences that Koreans may experience, the military has reformed its defense rules and regulations to ease the standards necessary to designate a Military Installation Protection Zone. -

The Pukguksong 2 uses solid fuel, which means it can be hidden and ready for rapid launch. A new balance of terror: Why North Korea clings to its nukes By ERIC TALMADGE Associated Press PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) — Early one winter morning, Kim Jong Un stood at a remote observation post overlooking a valley of rice paddies near the Chinese border. The North Korean leader beamed with delight as he watched four extended range Scud missiles roar of their mobile launchers, comparing the sight to a team of acrobats performing in unison. Minutes later the projectiles splashed into the sea of the Japanese coast, 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) from where https://apnews.com/f3cdf8f726084d13b33f09a5bd1845d0/A-new-balance-of-terror:-Why-North-Korea-clings-to-its-nukes Republic of Kim > ASSOCIATED PRESS p. 1 of 8 he was standing. It was an unprecedented event. North Korea had just run its frst simulated nuclear attack on an American military base. This scene from March 6, described in government propaganda, shows how the North’s seemingly crazy, suicidal nuclear program is neither crazy nor suicidal. Rather, this is North Korea’s very deliberate strategy to ensure the survival of its ruling regime. -
Chapter 4 the Korean Peninsula: “Nuclear Weapons State” North Korea Aiming to Become an Economic Power, ROK Seeking Active Deterrence Capability
Chapter 4 The Korean Peninsula: “Nuclear Weapons State” North Korea Aiming to Become an Economic Power, ROK Seeking Active Deterrence Capability n the year since the death of Chairman of the National Defense Commission IKim Jong Il, North Korea (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, DPRK) has taken steps to bolster the Kim Jong Un regime and Park Geun-hye of the conservative Saenuri Party has been elected as the next president of the Republic of Korea (ROK or South Korea). There has been no easing of North- South confrontation, and the problems posed by North Korea’s nuclear and missile program grow more serious, so the security situation in the region remains as challenging as ever. In February 2012, the United States and North Korea had direct dialogue more than three years after the Six-Party Talks were suspended. This was followed by announcement of an agreement between the two countries (the so-called Leap Day Agreement). The agreement was effectively scuttled, however, when the new North Korean constitution drawn up under Kim Jong Un described the country as a nuclear weapons state and North Korea launched a missile under the guise of putting an earth observation satellite into orbit with an Unha 3 rocket on April 13. This missile launch was a failure, but North Korea proceeded to launch another missile on December 12, 2012, demonstrating improvements in the technology relating to flight stability and flight accuracy. On February 12, 2013, the country conducted its third nuclear test, driving home its claim to be a nuclear weapons state. -

DPRK) So Far This Year
DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE’S 16 April 2004 REPUBLIC OF KOREA Appeal No. 01.68/2004 Appeal Target: CHF 14, 278, 310 Programme Update No. 01 Period covered: January – March 2004 The Federation’s mission is to improve the lives of vulnerable people by mobilising the power of humanity. It is the world’s largest humanitarian organisation and its millions of volunteers are active in over 180 countries. For more information: www.ifrc.org In Brief Appeal coverage: 36.3 %; See attached Contributions List for details. Outstanding needs: CHF 9,089,504 Related Emergency or Annual Appeals: 01.67/2003 Programme Summary: No major natural disasters have affected the People’s Democratic Republic of Korea (DPRK) so far this year. Food security is a major concern, especially in areas remote from the capital. The Red Cross Society of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK RC) has been granted permission from the government to expand the Federation supported health and care programme to another province, increasing the number of potential beneficiaries covered by the essential medicines programme to 8.8 million from July 2004. Due to delayed funding, the first quarter of 2004 has been used to finalise most of the programme activities from the 2003 appeal. Bilateral support from the Republic of Korea, the Netherlands and the Norwegian Red Cross Societies is supplementing Federation support. Partner national societies renewed their commitment to continue supporting DPRK RC. DPRK RC is regarded as an important organisation in DPRK by the government, donor country embassies, UN agencies and NGOs. Operational developments Harvests last year in DPRK were above average, however, the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and the World Food Programme (WFP) state that, despite the good harvests, the situation remains “especially precarious” for young children, pregnant and nursing women and many elderly people.
