The Ministry of National Defense launches the "Secret Contact Qualification Certification" to strengthen confidentiality and prevent espionage. Gu Lixiong: The higher the contact level, the more stringent the verification.

In order to strengthen confidentiality and prevent espionage, the Ministry of National Defense has established a "secret clearance qualification certification" mechanism, regardless of military, civilian and rank. In the future, security checks will be conducted based on the actual security clearance of personnel. In this regard, Defense Minister Gu Lixiong said in an interview today, "As long as the contact classification level is higher, the verification will be more stringent." He hopes that the verification mechanism will be consistent with the actual level of contact between officers and soldiers.

An operational report submitted by the Ministry of National Defense to the Foreign Affairs and National Defense Committee of the Legislative Yuan today stated that the Ministry of National Defense has formulated the "Regulations on Security Investigation Operations of National Military Secret Personnel" and established a "Secret Service Qualification Certification" mechanism for the National Army. Regardless of military, civilian or rank, all personnel must complete the verification according to the classification level.

In this regard, the Legislative Yuan Foreign Affairs and National Defense Committee today (4) invited Defense Minister Gu Lixiong to report on the business overview and prepare questions. Gu Lixiong accepted a joint interview with the media before the meeting. The media asked, in order to prevent the CCP from infiltrating, has the Ministry of National Defense currently established confidential qualification certification, including entry and exit security controls?

Gu Lixiong said that the military currently conducts security checks regardless of class, and mainly conducts security checks based on the level of confidentiality. "The higher the level of security he has access to, the stricter our verification will be." Through comprehensive checks on all military and civilian personnel regardless of class, making the system consistent with the degree of actual secret contact is the direction of future efforts.
