According to a statement released by the Korean Central News Agency, North Korea’s Vice Foreign Minister Im Chun-il expressed that the trilateral military alliance between the United States, Japan, and South Korea signifies hostile intentions towards North Korea and its neighboring countries. He described the alliance as a threat to international order, specifically mentioning the situation in Ukraine as a cancer that undermines the principles of the United Nations Charter.
The United States-led Alliances
Im Chun-il further highlighted that alliances led by the United States have become increasingly dangerous, displaying an aggressive and chauvinistic nature that perpetually jeopardizes the security and sovereignty of nations.

Strengthening Relations between Russia and North Korea
