In connection with the U.S. and Israel's airstrikes on Iran, the National Assembly's Foreign Affairs and Unification Committee will hold a full session to conduct an emergency interpellation on pending issues.
According to the political sphere on the 2nd, the ruling and opposition secretaries of the Foreign Affairs and Unification Committee from the Democratic Party of Korea and the People Power Party agreed the previous day to hold a full committee meeting at 9 a.m. on the 6th for an interpellation on pending issues.
At the interpellation on pending issues, the agenda is expected to include the impact of the U.S.-Israel airstrikes on Iran on the stability of the Middle East, oil prices, exchange rates, the domestic and global economy, the government's diplomatic line, and the security landscape, as well as the government's response. Questions and answers are also expected on existing foreign affairs and unification issues, including tariff talks with the United States and the North Korean Workers' Party's 9th Congress.
Meanwhile, on the 28th (local time), the United States and Israel carried out a large-scale military operation targeting Iran and eliminated Supreme Leader Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei. With the death of Iran's supreme leader in the Middle East, which has maintained hostile relations with the United States and Israel, concerns are emerging that global security could deteriorate.
