National Defense Strategy of Korea

South Korea’s National Defense Strategy aims to ensure national security by strengthening military capabilities, fostering alliances (notably with the U.S.), and deterring potential threats, particularly from North Korea. It emphasizes advanced technology, readiness, and resilience to adapt to evolving security challenges, including missile threats and cyber warfare. The strategy balances defense with diplomatic efforts to maintain peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula, while also promoting regional cooperation. Overall, it seeks to protect Korea’s sovereignty, citizens, and economic stability through a modern, capable, and adaptive defense posture.
