It “depends entirely“ on Russia where it wants to take future ties with South Korea, Mr Yoon said.
SEOUL - South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol said he would discuss with Nato leaders the distinct threat North Korea poses to Europe by deepening military ties with Russia, warning that Moscow must choose between the two Koreas where its true interests lie.
Mr Yoon, who became the first South Korean leader to attend a Nato summit in 2022, is set to depart on July 8 for the Washington event, his third time attending such a meeting. Mr Yoon has pushed for greater security ties with Europe and other US allies to deter North Korea’s nuclear and missile threats.
That would include areas such as arms dealing, transfers of military technology and assistance with strategic materials, he added.Russia, a permanent member of the UN Security Council which approved sanctions resolutions until 2017, has engaged in an “illegal” military partnership with North Korea, Mr Yoon said, adding that it was troubling to consider what help it might be giving Pyongyang in return.
