Niklas Swanström in Reuters about the North Korea-Russia relationship against the backdrop of Putin’s visit to North Korea and the defense pledge
June 20, 2024: Niklas Swanström, ISDP’s Executive Director, was quoted by Reuters about the North Korea-Russia relationship against the backdrop of Putin’s visit to North Korea and the defense pledge.
“The North Korea-Russia relationship started out as a marriage of convenience focusing on arms and tech transfers, so very transactional, but is now moving into payment systems, research collaboration and exchanges of different types. It seems to have a depth that we have underestimated,” says Niklas Swanström.
