The 2024 Arms Control & Verification Policy Development Seminar was held magnificently with the topic of 'Security environment of the Korean Peninsula and Nuclear/WMD Threat Reduction,' with numerous scholars worldwide.
 
[Seo, Chun-gyu KAVA Director]: This year marks our agency's 30th anniversary. Therefore, we have expanded and prepared the seminar to a global scale to place our focus on how to reduce threats (Nuclear, WMD).
 
Among many participants, including the U.S. Armed Forces, NATO, Germany, Czech, and Benelux Arms Verification Agencies, applauded our forces for securing peace through powerful strength such as the ROK-U.S. joint exercise against advancing North Korean Nuclear and Missile threats.
 
We also actively shared Arms Control experiences and knowledge. Most importantly, as the global security landscape evolves daily, such as the prolonged war in Ukraine and the competition between the U.S. and China, we agreed to take an active posture to be prepared together.
