A brief period of martial law causes significant delays and disturbances to government schedules

INN/Seoul, @Infodeaofficial

Economic officials in South Korea cancelled their main pre-planned activities on Wednesday in order to concentrate on dealing with the aftermath of a brief martial law emergency.

The government was still dealing with the shock of the unexpected declaration of emergency martial law, which was rescinded in the early hours of Wednesday, just a few hours after it was made, according to Yonhap news agency, which reported the sequence of cancellations.

The majority of the meetings that Finance Minister Choi Sang-mok had planned on Wednesday were cancelled. Choi was scheduled to meet early in the day with ministers who deal with the economy to talk about ways to help independent contractors, especially small business owners.
