People Power Party to Take Follow-up Action on Minister Jeong Dong-young's Nuclear Facility Remarks

The People Power Party will unilaterally convene National Assembly Defense and Foreign Affairs/Unification Committee meetings as follow-up action to Minister Jeong Dong-young's remarks regarding 'North Korean nuclear facilities.'

The meeting schedule was set without agreement from floor leaders of both parties, making the attendance of committee members from the Democratic Party and ministers uncertain.

The People Power Party held a press conference criticizing the government and ruling party for neglecting to resolve the situation.

Defense committee members plan to question Defense Minister Ahn Kyu-baek to confirm whether General Paul LaCamera, Commander of U.S. Forces Korea, protested Minister Jeong's remarks.
