In the meeting, the three leaders condemned North Korea for sending its troops to support Russia’s war against Ukraine.

According to the statement, “Japan, ROK and the United States strongly condemn the decision by the leaders of the DPRK and Russia to dangerously expand Moscow’s aggressive war against Ukraine.”

The Republic of Korea (ROK) is the official name of South Korea. The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) is the official name of North Korea. The joint statement said, “Deepening military cooperation between the DPRK and Russia, including war materials and ballistic missile transfers, is particularly important as Russia has the status of a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council.” The leaders also reaffirmed their commitment to the ‘complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula’.
