Top Security Adviser Meets Danish Parliament Delegation Over North Korea’s Troop Deployment to Russia.


Seoul: National Security Adviser Shin Won-sik met with a visiting Danish parliament delegation Tuesday, discussing the bilateral partnership and issues including North Korea’s troop deployment to Russia, the presidential office said.

According to Yonhap News Agency, in the meeting with the delegation, which included Michael Aastrup Jensen, head of the foreign affairs policy committee of the Danish parliament, Shin emphasized that South Korea is urging North Korean troops to withdraw from Russia immediately and end its illegal military cooperation with Moscow.

The Danish politicians concurred that the Russia-North Korea cooperation and the North’s troop deployment present significant security challenges to both the Korean Peninsula and Europe.

They called for enhanced cooperation between South Korea and Denmark, and between South Korea and the European Union, as well as with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

Shin and the delegation also highlighted the ongoing close cooperation between the two countr
ies and agreed to work together to further strengthen these ties, as this year marks the 65th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations.
