The President of South Korea and the Secretary General of NATO signed a document on the expansion of Seoul’s cooperation with the Alliance on global security issues, in particular with regard to Ukraine and North Korea.
On Tuesday, July 11, it became known that South Korean President Yoon Seok-yeol and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg approved a program of cooperation in eleven fields. Among them is the fight against terrorism, the proliferation of nuclear weapons and threats in the cyber sphere.
We are talking about an individual partnership program. The new program includes consultations to strengthen mutual understanding on common security threats. So now Seoul will also participate in the discussion of new technologies and cyber security within the framework of the Alliance. In addition, cooperation will be expanded on global security issues, in particular with regard to Ukraine and North Korea.
As reported by DW journalists, Yoon Seok Yeol arrived in Vilnius to establish an institutional basis for cooperation and hold consultations on cooperation with NATO in the field of military information and in the cyber sphere. He also noted that security in the Atlantic and Indo-Pacific regions are inseparable in view of threats from North Korea and tensions with China.
It is also said that Stoltenberg, in turn, thanked the president of South Korea for the fact that he also condemned Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine and noted that the nuclear and missile threats of North Korea are an important issue that also affects NATO.
