Yongin Mayor Lee Sang-il: "Must Solidify Immediate Response System for National Emergency Situations Through Ulji Exercise"

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Choi Ki-ho] Yongin Special City Mayor Lee Sang-il emphasized on the 19th, "Through this Ulji Exercise, we must further solidify a system that enables immediate response whenever and wherever national emergency situations occur."

On the second day of the Ulji Exercise, the mayor received a training status report that morning and said, "I extend my thanks to all city officials for performing well in the Ulji Exercise," adding, "Let us ensure that the city closely cooperates with the military, police, firefighting authorities, and related agencies so that citizens can feel assured in any emergency situation."

The mayor stated, "North Korean leader Kim Jong-un spoke yesterday about strengthening nuclear armament," and said, "I hope you participate in this Ulji Exercise while keeping in mind that the scenarios we assume in training can actually occur."

Mayor Lee Sang-il also told city officials during the initial Ulji Exercise status report on the 18th, "While this is a training exercise conducted under the assumption of a national emergency situation, you must never have a complacent mindset thinking that this is merely training and such a situation will not actually occur."

In this Ulji Exercise, approximately 400 personnel from six regional agencies including Yongin City, the military, police, and firefighters are operating the wartime integrated situation room and other facilities.
