The “sinister intention” to create an “Asian version of NATO”. North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-Un denies a plan to destabilize Pyongyang. The statements come on the sidelines of the NATO summit and are being released by state news agency KCNA just hours before Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol will meet with United States President Joe Biden, while speaking for the first time as Observers attended the annual NATO summit.

The meeting with Biden
The meeting with Biden will be their first trilateral summit since 2017. The three countries will also conduct a combined missile detection and localization exercise near Hawaii, dubbed Pacific Dragon, in early August as they step up security cooperation in response to the recent spate of ballistic missile launches from the north and concerns that an upcoming nuclear test could lead to.

“The United States is focused on military cooperation with its “servants,” ignoring the primary security needs and concerns of Asia-Pacific countries,” Kcna writes. The plan to form the US-Japan-South Korea military alliance is obviously a dangerous prelude to creating the “Asian version of NATO”. The news agency accuses Washington of fomenting a new Cold War. A separate comment is reported by Kim Hyo-myung, a researcher at the International Society for Political Research of North Korea, who notes that NATO is responsible for the war in Ukraine and that there are “disturbing signs” that ” the waves black in the North Atlantic may calm down in the Pacific ».

The missile tests
Pyongyang has conducted a record 31 missile tests so far this year, including a suspected hypersonic weapon and its largest ICBM. Ahead of South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol’s trip, a senior official expected that during the summit he would seek an urgent response to North Korea’s nuclear issue and that “North Korea’s provocations should be handled vigorously,” specifically between the three nations Pyongyang crowd the negotiating table.

The United States also asked Seoul and Tokyo to work closely together to counter the threat posed by Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un and China’s growing influence in the Indo-Pacific region. However, the two states have difficult bilateral relations due to historical tensions and ongoing litigation over the Japanese occupation of Korea from 1910 to 1945. Jake Sullivan, the United States National Security Adviser, explained that earlier The Leaders’ Meeting focused on North Korea’s missile power plants and nuclear program and what could be done economically to deprive Pyongyang of the hard currency it needs to fund it.
