Japan has once again accused Russia of violating UN Security Council resolutions by cooperating with the DPRK. This was stated at a regular press conference by Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi, TASS reported.
Hayashi claims that Russia is “clearly violating UN Security Council resolutions“ by purchasing weapons from the DPRK. The Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary also expressed concern about military-technical cooperation between the Russian Federation and the DPRK.
“We are extremely concerned about the impact that this cooperation may have on the security situation in the region and around our country“, he said.
At the same time, he refrained from direct comments on the content of the Agreement on Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between the Russian Federation and the DPRK, signed by the leaders of the two countries. He also pledged that Japan, in close cooperation with the international community, will continue to seek full compliance with UN Security Council resolutions regarding the DPRK, aimed at stopping Pyongyang from developing a nuclear missile program.
