President Lee: "Strict Crackdown on Illegal Fishing by Any Country's Vessels... No Exceptions"

President Lee Jae-myung stated today (the 28th), "We will thoroughly crack down on illegal fishing by vessels of any country," adding, "There are no exceptions."

President Lee made the remarks while sharing a news article on X (formerly Twitter) regarding the government's strong response plan, which includes establishing a special crackdown unit to target Chinese fishing boats engaged in illegal operations near the Northern Limit Line (NLL) in the West Sea.

Last month on the 26th, during a senior secretaries meeting, President Lee also received a briefing from the National Security Office on the situation surrounding illegal fishing by Chinese vessels near the NLL and ordered them to "respond thoroughly."
