Admiral Samuel Paparo, who oversees the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command covering key strategic areas such as the Korean Peninsula and Taiwan,

He expressed concerns over North Korea's advancing nuclear capacities, and stressed the importance of denuclearization on the Korean Peninsula.

Adm. Samuel Paparo / U.S. Indo-Pacific Commander
The developments in NK are very concerning to everybody, and we seek the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula at all times

When asked about calls for South Korea to acquire nuclear submarines, Paparo stressed finding efficient ways to integrate South Korea-U.S. military capabilities, leaving the door open for the introduction of nuclear submarines in the future.

Adm. Samuel Paparo / U.S. Indo-Pacific Commander
And if the operational analysis leads us to believe that, then we can move forward at a later date./At this time I don’t have a comment on that,

Regarding the idea of having South Korean Air Force's F-35A fighter jets operate U.S. tactical nuclear weapons instead of re-deploying them, the commander said it's up to Seoul.

As to President Yoon Suk Yeol's visit to the Indo-Pacific Command last week, he said it was a very strategic visit.
He added he and Yoon exchanged opinions on the close ties between Pyongyang and Moscow and denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
