The Blue House said on the 3rd that reports by some media outlets to the effect that "the Korean government has effectively decided to dispatch troops to the Strait of Hormuz" are "not true."
The Blue House said this in a notice the same day, adding, "No related matter has been decided."
It added, "Our government has closely discussed with the international community practical ways to swiftly restore freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and to contribute to peace and stability in the Middle East."
Earlier the same day, one media outlet reported that the government is reviewing details to soon submit a motion to the National Assembly seeking consent for troop deployment to the Strait of Hormuz.
