Computed with intfloat/multilingual-e5-small multilingual embeddings. Display score is a calibrated mapping of the raw cross-lingual cosine (0.834); higher means closer meaning. Reflects semantic similarity, not proof of causation.

Aligned sentences

Agenda Arc

Curated

Global purpose, Korean purpose, and precursor stages. Reasoning echo is discourse observation — not proof of coordination.

Global purpose

Control chemical dual-use exports under CWC / Australia Group via Foreign Trade Act and strategic-goods notices.

Korean purpose

대한민국은 「대외무역법」 제19조 및 「전략물자 수출입고시」를 통해 CWC Schedule 1~3 화학물질과 Australia Group 통제품목의 수출허가를 시행한다. Schedule 1 물질은 사실상 수출이 금지되며, Schedule 2·3 물질은 전략물자관리원(KOSTI)의 허가를 받아야 한다.
