South Korea’s main opposition Minjoo Party unveiled an election pledge on Monday, promising to reform the country's National Intelligence Service (NIS).
The pledge involves revising the nation's anti-terrorism law, abolishing the NIS’s authority to gather domestic intelligence and, in the long term, replacing the NIS with the tentatively named "Overseas Intelligence Service," focusing on North Korea and foreign intelligence.
