Greetings everyone.
My name is Park Jun-Seok, the President of the Korean National Security and Public Safety Association.
In today’s global era, invisible conflicts and various political, economic, cultural, military, environmental unexpectable factors cause serious harm to national interest, economy and function. As a result, countries around the world are establishing multi-dimensional and comprehensive security systems in order to prevent national loss and strengthen national interest.

Korea’s importance and role are emerging as Global security environment changes. There are problems in establishing systematic law, response system, role and function of related government agencies concerning national security and public safety including terrorism, cyber-terrorism, industrial espionage, security service, disaster, catastrophe, threat of crime. Therefore, a comprehensive national disaster management system, a professional coping plan such as crisis preparation, response and recovery through cooperation between the Blue House and government agencies, an advanced disaster management system manual which can guarantee public safety, and specific and segmented system for promoting the quality of citizen’s life. We aim to establish the control tower for managing national security and public safety and comprehensive system for national security and public safety. Also, the goal of this association to synchronize with government policy and discuss the specific means for national security and public safety in Korea through academic-industrial cooperation. Toward this goal, it is necessary to establish academic basis for national security and public safety as well as matrix in related government agencies, legislature, the Blue House which can grant function and responsibility.

We believe that it is very meaningful to provide policy information for the promotion and national security and public safety and for substantial safety and national interest. Particularly, this association plans to establish college departments on national security and public safety, train professional personnels, and publish specialty books on this theme. Although a broad topic, we aim to work hard as the first academic association on national security and public safety in Korea.

Thank you very much.
Park Jun-Seok
President, Korean National Security and Public Safety Association
