🇷🇺🇰🇵 FM Sergey Lavrov’s opening remarks during talks with FM of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea Choe Son-hui (Moscow, January 16, 2024)
💬 I am very glad to welcome you and all your delegation members to Moscow in the first days of 2024. <...>
Today, we will have a detailed discussion on topical bilateral matters, including ways to further enhance our practical cooperation.
🌐 As for the international agenda, we are looking forward to continuing our trust-based dialogue on the situation on the Korean Peninsula and in Northeast Asia in general. Russia reaffirms its principled position on the need to find comprehensive and fair solutions to the existing problems.
☝️ We have always advocated for talks without preconditions as a path to achieving lasting peace and stability across Northeast Asia. Russia has independently submitted proposals to this effect, as well as together with the PRC, to the UNSC. These proposals are currently on the negotiating table.
We must recognise that the policy pursued by the US and its regional satellites to create security threats for the DPRK does nothing to promote any positive advancements. We will continue to call for the rejection of any steps that lead to escalation and heightening tensions.
We are working together within a broader geography on security matters in the Asia-Pacific region, where we must uphold universal mechanisms rooted in ASEAN proposals and which have been effectively operating for many decades. However, attempts by the US and its allies to create closed, bloc-based formats and to expand NATO infrastructure to this region undermine these mechanisms and erode their effectiveness.
🇺🇳 We have been working closely and very successfully with Pyongyang within the UN and at other multilateral organisations. Russia has always supported the DPRK within the UN and appreciates the fact that you have treated Russia in the same manner, including on matters related to the ongoing special military operation in Ukraine.
