Cheong Wa Dae Says It Has Not Heard of Any Plan to Send a Patrol Ship to the Strait of Hormuz, Reviews Ways to Make a Practical Contribution

[Financial News] Cheong Wa Dae said on the 29th that it had "not heard anything about a patrol ship" in response to a report that it was considering sending one to the Strait of Hormuz.
A Cheong Wa Dae official made the remark the same day in response to the report.
The official said, "The government is concerned about the escalating tensions and is closely monitoring the situation. It is reviewing practical ways to contribute to freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, taking into comprehensive account all factors, including the security posture on the Korean Peninsula and domestic legal procedures."
The official added, "These government efforts have been maintained consistently and are nothing new."
Earlier, one media outlet reported that the government had recently discussed military support measures to ensure freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz at a standing committee meeting of the National Security Council (NSC), and that patrol ships were among the assets under consideration.
In response, the Cheong Wa Dae official said it could not confirm any matters related to the NSC.
