President Lee urges for peace to guarantee solid security

On this day, marking the 75th anniversary of the start of the Korean War, President Lee Jae Myung said the most solid security was possible through making peace the state where fighting was no longer needed.

Taking to his Facebook account, Lee added that the era of solely relying on military power was over.

As he appreciated the sacrifices and devotion of all people, he vowed to seek "various measures" to better compensate those who made "extraordinary" sacrifices to defend the nation.

Adding that security was key to the economy, Lee appreciated South Korea's rise from the ruins to become one of the world's top 10 economic powers.
