NATO fearful Russia might help North Korea's missile and nuclear applications By Reuters

-

By Humeyra Pamuk and David Brunnstrom

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – NATO is anxious about help Russia might present for North Korea’s missile and nuclear applications, the alliance’s head mentioned on Tuesday as Russian President Vladimir Putin headed to the reclusive nuclear-armed nation for the primary time in 24 years.

Putin vowed on Tuesday to deepen commerce and safety ties with North Korea and to help it towards the US.

His state go to comes amid U.S. accusations that North Korea has equipped “dozens of ballistic missiles and over 11,000 containers of munitions to Russia” to be used in Ukraine.

NATO Secretary-Common Jens Stoltenberg advised a joint press convention after a gathering with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken that Russia’s warfare in Ukraine was being propped up by China, North Korea and Iran, who all needed to see the Western alliance fail.

“We are of course also concerned about the potential support that Russia provides to North Korea when it comes to supporting their missile and nuclear programs,” Stoltenberg mentioned.

He mentioned this and China’s help for Russia’s warfare economic system confirmed how safety challenges in Europe have been linked to Asia and added that subsequent month’s NATO summit in Washington would see an additional strengthening of the alliance’s partnerships with Australia, New Zealand, South Korea and Japan.

Stoltenberg mentioned there wanted to be “consequences” at some stage for China.

“They cannot continue to have normal trade relationships with countries in Europe and at the same time fuel the biggest war we have seen in Europe since the Second World War,” he mentioned.

Stoltenberg mentioned it was too early to say what these penalties could be, “but it has to be an issue that we need to address because to continue as we do today is not viable.”

Blinken mentioned Putin’s go to to North Korea was an indication of his “desperation” to strengthen relations with nations that may help his warfare in Ukraine.

Blinken added that China’s help had enabled Russian to keep up its protection industrial base, supplying 70% of the machine instruments Moscow is importing and 90% of the microelectronics. “That has to stop,” he mentioned.

Final week, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell mentioned Washington was involved by what Russia would give North Korea in return for the weapons Pyongyang has equipped.

“Hard currency? Is it energy? Is it capabilities that allow them to advance their nuclear or missile products? We don’t know. But we’re concerned by that and watching carefully,” he mentioned.

The highest U.S. arms management official, Below Secretary of State Bonnie Jenkins, has mentioned she believes North Korea is eager to amass fighter plane, surface-to-air missiles, armored autos, ballistic missile manufacturing gear or supplies, and different superior applied sciences from Russia.
