He was speaking at the 9th National Counterterrorism Committee meeting earlier today.
"In four days, the 2019 FINA World Championships will begin in Gwangju. And in Busan in November, the Korea-ASEAN Special Summit will take place. I hope all related organizations do their best to maintain perfect security for these two events."
He added that there are still many terrorist movements around the globe, citing a South Korean national who was recently caught while trying to join ISIS.
Lee expressed his gratitude towards other countries including the United Arab Emirates for rescuing a South Korean national who returned home in May after being kidnapped in Libya.
