US, South Korea and Japan slam ‘dangerous’ ties between Russia, North Korea
Al Jazeera
Leaders from the three countries met on the sidelines of the 2024 APEC summit to voice opposition to Russia-North Korea treaty.
The leaders of the United States, South Korea and Japan have held a joint news conference to denounce the growing military cooperation between North Korea and Russia.
Held on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Lima, Peru, the conference also served as a swan song for outgoing US President Joe Biden, who will be leaving office in 2025.
“We’ve now reached a moment of significant political change,” Biden told reporters on Friday. He touted the bonds between the US, South Korea and Japan as a major part of his legacy.
“This is likely to be my last trilateral meeting with this important group, but I’m proud to have helped be one of the parts of building this partnership, and I think it’s built to last. That’s my hope and expectation.”
Biden will be replaced in January by incoming President-elect Donald Trump, a Republican who champions an “America First” foreign policy.
