The military officials briefed Moon on their plan to make an "active, aggressive push for a conditions-based transition" of wartime operational control from the United States to South Korea on the basis of the robust alliance, Cheong Wa Dae said.

Moon stressed the importance of "close consultations" between the allies and positive effects on South Korea's defense capabilities through the OPCON transition, it added.

He also told them to take speedy defense reform measures in consideration of rapidly changing regional security conditions.

Cheong Wa Dae did not provide additional details on the issues of the OPCON transfer and inter-Korean military accords. It did not inform media either in advance of the president's schedule on the meeting with military leaders. (Yonhap)
