President Lee Myung-bak will chair a meeting of top military commanders next week, his spokesman said Sunday, a reflection of how seriously he regards last month's deadly sinking of a naval ship in waters near North Korea.
Lee will preside over the military commanders' meeting on Tuesday, marking the first time in history for a South Korean president to chair such a meeting, presidential spokesman Park Sun-kyoo said.
The 1,200-ton patrol ship Cheonan sank in waters near the tense western sea border with North Korea on March 26, revealing problems with the way the military responded to the deadly disaster amid suspicions of an attack by the communist neighbor.
The sinking killed 46 of the ship's 104 crew members. Six bodies have not yet been found.
"President Lee will check what tasks the Cheonan incident handed to our military and people, and state his position as the supreme commander of the armed forces," the spokesman said.
Lee is expected to check the military's defense posture, discuss measures to prevent a recurrence of such a disaster and issue related instructions.
North Korea is widely believed to be behind the sinking, though it has denied responsibility.
