The People Power Party on the 28th, regarding U.S. and Israeli attacks across Iran, said, "Authorities must do everything possible to ensure the safety of Korean nationals overseas and to protect national industries."
Spokesperson Jo Yong-sul said in a commentary, "What matters most in this situation is the safety of our nationals who are staying or residing locally."
Jo, the spokesperson, noted, "Instability in energy supply and demand and the potential for disruptions to the global supply chain are also very serious concerns," and urged, "Authorities must thoroughly review measures to stabilize energy supply and demand, responses for import-export logistics, and plans to protect key industries, and prepare without gaps."
Seong Il-jong of the People Power Party, who chairs the National Assembly defense committee, said on Facebook, "This war that began in the Middle East is highly likely to have direct and indirect effects on the Republic of Korea."
He continued, "First, I will closely check to ensure there are no issues with the safety of troops deployed overseas and Korean nationals abroad," adding, "I will also meticulously review issues that could affect the national interest, including ongoing defense industry exports, depending on how the war unfolds, and do my utmost so the public does not feel anxious."
