The signing of a strategic partnership agreement between Moscow and Pyongyang in Washington is considered an expansion of the partnership. The aggressor country is seeking to assemble a coalition with other countries, including North Korea, Iran, Syria and, to a certain extent, China. This was stated by Michael Carpenter, Senior Director for Europe at the White House National Security Council, Ukrinform reports.
Regarding the meeting between Putin and Kim Jong-in in Pyongyang and all the pomp and splendor reflecting the totalitarian nature of the regime in the DPRK, it is obvious that we are talking about expanding the partnership, he noted.
Carpenter noted that the closest partners in the world were North Korea, Iran, Syria, and then, to a certain extent, China, which, although it does not provide Russia with weapons, sends many dual-use products for the production of advanced weapons systems. He also suggested comparing it with the coalition of 50 countries in the Contact Group on Defense of Ukraine and with about 100 countries that took part in the Peace Summit in Switzerland.
Let us recall that on June 19, the DPRK and the Russian Federation signed an agreement on a comprehensive strategic partnership. The document provides for mutual military assistance in the event of aggression against Pyongyang or Moscow.
