Shoigu traveled to North Korea in July for the 70th anniversary of the Korean War’s end, which is observed there as” Victory Day ,” and according to Yonhap, the South Korean National Intelligence Service claimed that he appeared to have met with Kim in private.
Next year, the United States expressed concern over the active nature of the arms talks between North Korea and Russia, as well as Shoigu’s attempts to persuade Pyongyang to sell Russia artillery ammunition while he was there.
Alexander Matsegora, the Russian ambassador to North Korea, told the TASS news agency on Saturday that while he was not aware of any plans for the country to take part in trilateral military drills with China and Russia, in his opinion it would be” appropriate” given US-led exercises in the area.
Although North Korea has denied having any” hands relations” with Russia, Russia has recently called for closer military relationships.
Recently, the US imposed restrictions on three parties it claimed were connected to wings agreements between Russia and North Korea.
Since 2006, North Korea has tested six nuclear weapons and a number of weapons, but it hardly ever engages in military drills with its neighbors.
