The Maritime Executive reports that South Korea’s government proposed expanding the operating area of its existing Cheonghae anti-piracy mission. The account says parliamentary approval would be required for the proposed change.

The exact proposal date and original ministry and parliamentary records were not independently reviewed. This brief does not establish approval or a new deployment, and excludes current asset positions, routes, force composition, threat assessments and claims of safe passage.
