SEOUL: South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol plans to underline"illicit, dangerous" military dealings between North Korea and Russia at the United Nations on Wednesday , his aides said, following the two countries' rare summit last week.
Seoul and Washington have expressed concern that Russia could be trying to fetch ammunition from the North to shore up its thinning stockpile due to its invasion of Ukraine, while Pyongyang secures technological aid over its nuclear and missile programmes. "He is expected to call the international community's attention to the illicit and dangerous nature of military transactions between Russia and North Korea, and urge a united response from the international community," the official told reporters.Any activities assisting with North Korea's weapons programmes are banned under UN Security Council resolutions, and Putin has said his country would"never violate anything.
Any new UN resolutions are unlikely for now, but discussions are underway with the United States and other countries to impose more sanctions on Russia and North Korea, the official said.
