Founded on the U.N. convention on the marking of plastic explosives for the purpose of detection, the committee deals with a variety of issues regarding the production and detection of explosives.
It has 15 to 19 experts on explosives from some of its 190 member countries. Officials said that his entry into the committee would play a crucial role to enhance the country’s status in the international community dealing with explosives.
Kim has gained international recognition for his development of high explosives for precision-guided weapons systems. He joined the ADD in 1986.
