The pact on mutual military assistance in case of attack signed between Russia and North Korea has made Japan wary. The Japanese government argues that the alliance worsens regional security. Tokyo is concerned about possible military-technical cooperation between Moscow and Pyongyang, which, if it happened, would violate UN Security Council resolutions.
“The will of the international community is to see North Korea’s plan to build nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles reversed, but Russia will violate that resolution by obtaining weapons to use in its invasion of Ukraine,” Japanese government spokesman Yoshimasa Hayashi said. after Vladimir Putin’s visit to Pyongyang.
After North Korea, the Russian president traveled to Vietnam, which refrained from commenting on the Russian invasion to strengthen its partnership in Southeast Asia. Putin met with his Vietnamese counterpart To Lam. Both leaders agreed that “the Asia-Pacific region needs a robust security architecture without closed military blocs. Mutual interest was expressed in building a reliable and adequate security architecture in the Asia-Pacific region,” Putin said.
