According to experts, on Tuesday, March 19, in Moscow, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia Andriy Rudenko met with a special representative of China in the affairs of the Korean Peninsula Liuyomin to discuss the situation on the Korean peninsula. "Rudenko and Liu accused the United States and their allies in the threat of military situation in Northeast Asia and warned the United States from the spread of" blocking thinking "in the Cold War style," the ISW is specified.
However, as analysts emphasize, the Russian Federation seeks to strengthen relations with North Korea. In particular, Russia received ballistic missiles and artillery shells from the DPRK in exchange for probable technological cooperation and other indefinite support, which caused concern in Seoul. In addition, the Russian Ambassador to China, Igor Morgulov, met with the head of the Chinese information agency Sinhua Fu Hua to discuss bilateral cooperation in the media sphere.
On the same day, March 19, President Iran Ibrahim Raisi had a telephone conversation with Russian leader Vladimir Putin to discuss bilateral cooperation. Raisi confirmed her willingness to support Russia in stabilizing the situation in the South Caucasus in the context of events in Armenia and Azerbaijan.
"Russia's desire for strengthening political and diplomatic bilateral relations with Beijing, as well as the use of bilateral relations with Iran and North Korea for military benefit is a type of" block thinking ", in which Liu and Rudenko have accused the US and their allies," ISW said.
