President Lee was also briefed by the defense ministry on its policies for next year mainly aimed at improving the military's ability to respond to North Korean provocations.
And one of the key points discussed during the briefing session was its plan to create a top military command structure next year to enhance interoperability of the country's armed forces.
A total of eight operational headquarters in the Army, Navy and Air Force will be streamlined into three commands.
The joint forces command will be a key part in improving combat capability against North Korea especially in the five islands in the West Sea.
