Reuters – US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Thursday (9) that he and South Korean Foreign Minister Park Jin share “deep” concerns about growing military cooperation between North Korea and Russia.

Blinken and Park also said they discussed working together to implement a so-called extended deterrence strategy to counter “threats” from North Korea and promote strategic cooperation with Japan.

“Our three countries are already taking steps to improve our joint response through real-time sharing of DPRK missile warning data, trilateral defense exercises, and efforts to counter the DPRK’s malicious cyber activities.”

DPRK, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, is the official name of North Korea.

CONTINUES AFTER RECOMMENDATIONS

The United States, South Korea and Japan have condemned what they say is the flow of weapons and military equipment from North Korea to Russia, saying cargo movements from the reclusive state to Russia were proof.
