South Korean President Park Geun-hye pledged Tuesday to strengthen defense capabilities to better deal with North Korea's possible provocations.
Park said South Korea's tight defense posture and principled approach toward North Korea can open the door of dialogue and cooperation, citing North Korea's land mine attack.
The North's provocation brought South and North Korea back to the negotiating table, and they reached a deal in August that defused military tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
The two sides recently held family reunions of South and North Koreans separated since the 1950-53 Korean War as part of the August deal.
"The government will make every effort to ensure that the family reunions can be held on a regular basis," Park said in a televised address to the National Assembly.
