The U.S. Secretary of State called the growing co-operation between the two countries a ‘two-way street’ involving arms flows and technical support
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Thursday he shared South Korean concerns about growing military co-operation between North Korea and Russia, which he called a “two-way street” involving arms flows and technical support.
He came to Asia from the Middle East, where the conflict in Gaza has combined with the war in Ukraine to overshadow Washington’s efforts to focus on the Indo-Pacific region. “That’s a real concern for the security of the Korean Peninsula, a real concern for global non-proliferation regimes, it’s a real concern for the Russian aggression of Ukraine and a real concern for the violation of multiple UN Security Council resolutions,” he said.
“Still, it will be important for the U.S. to sustain attention at all levels of the government because North Korea and even China would think is now has more room to manoeuvre,” she said.
